In a last-minute amendment to the state’s budget, Kansas lawmakers plan to slice $903,161, half of the overall outlay for public broadcasting stations in the state. The Kansas City Star reports the cuts will be in both public radio and TV. The budget would cut $120,000 from the budget of High Plains Public Radio, which the newspaper claims could mean “the loss of several radio shows and perhaps two out of 10 staff members.” Public TV stations in the state could be hit even harder. If the budget is passed and signed into law by Gov. Mark Parkinson, the cuts would take effect July 1.
