Kansas,like many other states,is facing a $186 million gap for fiscal year 2009 and according to early estimates approximately $1 billion deficit for fiscal year 2010. However,more recent estimates place FY 2010's shortfall at $654 million.
Governor Kathleen Sebelius recommended $600 million in budget cuts for FY 2010 which includes eliminating programs,closing facilities,freezing new hires,and reducing spending. However,in light of the federal economic stimulus package Sebelius amended her recommended budget to "prevent harm" to the state. "Budget cuts deeper than what I have already recommended are not necessary,and would in fact do great harm to our state’s economy and employment levels," said Sebelius. However,state officials said their target for reductions in fiscal 2010 is greater than the Governor's recommendations - $625 million. According to the Governor's recommended budget,the proposed cuts could reduce the projected FY2010 shortfall $103 million,however that estimate depends on $57 million in revenue from state-owned casinos that haven’t yet been built.
