Brownback Imposing Budget Cuts

KSCB News - March 11, 2011 3:35 pm

Gov. Sam Brownback says he is using his
constitutional authority to cut $56.5 million in spending
immediately in the current Kansas budget.
Brownback said Friday that he will have a list of spending
reductions ready by the close of the day’s business. He says he
hopes the cuts will not result in layoffs.
The Republican governor informed legislative leaders earlier
this week that he would take matters in his own hands if
negotiators couldn’t agree on a bill he requested in January to cut
state spending.
