Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors survey general revenue and demographic issues and then analyze the five policy areas--education, corrections, transportation, welfare, and health--that consume 84.3% of the state budget and that, in terms of both cost and controversy, rank highest on the state's policy agenda. Emerging from this analysis is the disturbing consensus that Kansas is an increasingly divided state: one urban, younger, and wealthier; the other rural, older, and poorer.
