Kansas lawmakers just passed a budget that gives state workers a 1% raise while inflation runs at 2.4% and legislators budgeted 4% for themselves. The House passed it late Thursday night, well after midnight, on the last day of session.
Sarah LaFrenz, President of the Kansas Organization of State Employees (KOSE/AFSCME/AFT), says this is one of the worst budgets she's seen in years and it's not just bad for workers. It's bad for the state programs and vulnerable Kansans who depend on them.
The legislature may have adjourned, but they'll be back for veto session in early April. They need to hear from you before they return.
