Kansas to Borrow $291 Million to Pay Bills

Kansas will use $291 million in internal government borrowing to avoid a deficit in its current budget and pay bills on time through June.

Gov. Sam Brownback signed the budget bill into law Tuesday.

It allows the state to avoid short-term cuts in aid to public schools, social services and other programs.

Kansas would still face projected budget shortfalls totaling $989 million for the two years starting in July.]
