TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Gov. Mark Parkinson is calling on legislators to embrace ``a middle ground'' to deal with the state's budget problems.
He said Thursday that ``shared sacrifice'' will lead to better times after the state eliminates a projected $328 million deficit in the budget for its next fiscal year.
Parkinson addressed a joint House-Senate session on his second
full day in office. He rose from lieutenant governor to governor when Kathleen Sebelius resigned to become U.S. health and human services secretary.
I continue to favor cuts versus "revenue enhancements" (code word for taxes, no matter what he says). I am not optimistic about this wrap up session of the Legislature.
