No year for a costly special session: "
Kansans have to hope that state Senate Vice President John Vratil, R-Leawood, was being unduly pessimistic in saying Sunday during ‘Ask Your Legislator’ on KPTS, Channel 8, that the state budget crisis may necessitate a summer special session for the Legislature.
That not only would be a regrettable expense (the 12-day special session in 2005 cost $574,000). It would be a hardship on school districts and other constituents of state services with hiring and planning to do.
Whether it happens in May or July, Vratil predicted: ‘We will, ultimately, see a tax increase before we’re done.’
