Fun fact: Democrats have controlled the Kansas House just 3 times in the state's history: 1912-1914, 1976-1978, & 1990-1992.
They've controlled the Kansas Senate just once: 1912-1916, when there were 21 Ds, 18 Rs and 1 Socialist (!).

How Trump’s expansion of federal power threatens states’ authority | via @jonshorman.bsky.social and Kevin Hardy #ksleg
The legislation would let voters sign a protest petition if their local governments — school districts, city and county governments — exceed their previous year’s budget by more than 3%. Which probably sounds great to a lot of homeowners struggling to keep up with inflation. Understandable. But there’s a problematic part: If just 10% of those local voters sign the petition then the budget “shall be deemed disapproved” and the local government has to cut the budget back to the 3% inflation cap. That’s it. No vote by the broader community. No majority approval. Instead: One out of every 10 of your neighbors will have veto power over your local government’s spending decisions — even if, hypothetically, those spending decisions are supported by 90% of your neighbors. All you need is a few signatures. Read more at: https://www.kansascity.com/opinion/readers-opinion/guest-commentary/article315235472.html#storylink=cpy

The caps on how many students and attorneys can participate *are* gone from the passed bill. They'll come back in the program's administration, as the agreed upon appropriation was $586,795. Search "Rural Justice" in the budget #ksleg just passed: www.kslegislature.gov/li/b2025_26/...
This week #ksleg passed a weak version of last year's proposals to address rural access to justice gaps. The rough math is a 55-45 population split between urban/suburban and rural, but attorneys are 80-20.

“I’ve had a few days to think about it,” said Adam Proffitt, appointed state budget director in 2020, in a meeting with Senate Democrats ahead of floor debate. “In my estimation, this is the worst budget I’ve seen come through this building during my time." #ksleg
