Funding for anticipated redistricting session approved, Kansas lawmakers respond

Funding for Anticipated Redistricting Session Approved

Kansas lawmakers met on Monday to approve legislative budgets for the upcoming year's session.

A key budget consideration was a $400,000 allocation from the State General Fund, along with $60,000 for licensing costs, to cover the anticipated special session for redistricting the state's legislative voting districts.

Republican leadership just appropriated $460,000 from the state general fund for a redistricting special session that Kansans are not calling for.

Senate Minority Leader Dinah Sykes, a Democrat, condemned the Republican leadership for wasting taxpayer money on what she termed a "political stunt", stating that they are not focused on issues that Kansans care about.
