Kansas Lawmakers Approve Funding for Anticipated Redistricting Session

Kansas lawmakers met on Monday to approve legislative budgets for the upcoming session, including a $400,000 allocation from the State General Fund and $60,000 for licensing costs to cover a 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 decision, stating that it is a waste of taxpayer money and a "political stunt" that shows Republicans are not focused on issues that matter to Kansans.
