Kansas Legislature: Budget Impasse, Possible Furloughs

As the Kansas legislature nears an all-time record for longest session in Kansas history, Up To Date brings you the latest on the budget impasse and the threat of possible furloughs. 

Guests:

  • Rep. Stephanie Clayton is an Overland Park Republican. 
  • Rebecca Proctor is the executive director of the Kansas Organization of State Employees.
  • Andy Marso is a statehouse reporter for Kansas Health Institute News Service.
When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers. Reach me at steve@kcur.org or on Twitter @stevekraske.
Kansas City needs journalists who show up not just on people’s worst days, but on their best ones — and the boring ones in between. I build relationships across the metro, so our newsroom can bring you critical information when times are tough, and seek out moments of joy to celebrate. Email me at lisa@kcur.org.
