Kansas Governor Laura Kelly says the state can repair the state’s roads and revive some highway construction without raising taxes. Governor Kelly says the state can devote $10 billion to transportation needs, if lawmakers stop tapping into the Highway Fund to pay for other things. Kansas News Service, Jim McClean explains what Kelly’s trying to do with her new Transportation Plan:
Governor Kelly has pledged to close the “Bank of K-Dot” and make sure funding for transportation is spent on transportation. She also has promised to finish many projects abandoned during a budget crisis that followed the Brownback tax cuts.
