Senate Bill Ammended

From the Lawrence Journal World:

The Kansas Senate on Wednesday gave preliminary approval to a compromise budget measure that makes smaller cuts in education and social services than what Republican leaders had wanted.

The 25-15 vote would reduce public school funding by approximately three-quarters of one percent, human services by 1.5 percent and higher education and the rest of state government by about 4.5 percent.

The good news here, for schools at least, is that K-12 public education may not be cut by nearly as much as was first discussed.
