the opening of this Senate, we are grateful for the dedication and hard work of elected

recognition for their fine sportsmanship and athletic abilities; and
WHEREAS, The success of this team is due to its excellent teamwork, strong competitive
spirit and determination to win plus the enthusiastic support of the school's administrators,
the faculty, the students, the players' parents and many area citizens: Now, therefore,

EXPLANATION OF VOTE
Mr. President: There are many portions of this budget I fully support. I appreciate the
time and effort which has gone into the building of this product.
I have grave concerns over other portions of this budget and how it negatively affects my
district such as special education funding, funding for the developmentally disabled,
uncertain education funding, and the cut to my local units of governments.
At this point in the process, I must vote no and trust my concerns will be addressed as
we move forward on the budget process.--Greta Goodwin
Senators Lee and Steineger request the record to show they concur with the ``Explanation
of Vote'' offered by Senator Goodwin on SB 639.
Mr. President: I vote NO on the FY 2001 budget contained in this bill, SB 639. This
bill is misguided and wrong.
It is wrong to finance K-12 education on a ``contingency basis.'' This budget proposes
funding education with dollars that may or may not be there. It is wrong to inadequately
fund services for the frail and elderly and disabled Kansans. It is wrong to not increase
financial aid for college students when their tuition continues to increase. It is wrong to cut
demand transfers for local units of government, forcing them to cut services or increase
local property taxes. It is wrong to divert money from the state retirement system in order
to balance the budget.
For the majority party to contend that this budget carries out our commitments to
education, the frail and elderly, and other vulnerable Kansans is simply not true. They will
say that we can shift money, make tentative promises, and call it responsible government.
I call it irresponsible government, and I will not vote for any budget that employs such
questionable tactics.--Anthony Hensley
Senator Lee requests the record to show she concurs with the ``Explanation of Vote''
offered by Senator Hensley on SB 639.
Mr. President: I vote yes on SB 639. With this $8.109 billion budget we keep our
commitments to K-12 education and to higher education. We have found some alternatives
to prison construction through establishment of three day reporting centers. We have
successfully restored the protected income levels for frail and elderly, the developmentally
disabled and the physically disabled. Optional medical services, some of which are not
optional at all, have been reinstated. We have funded $3 million for competitive grants for
local health departments for prevention-based early intervention programs. We have
continued funding of the 10-year comprehensive highway plan. All of this has been done
without increasing taxes and still we have stayed within the 7.5 percent ending balance
requirement of state law.--Dave Kerr
Senators Becker, Bleeker, Emert, Jordan, Lawrence, Morris, Salisbury and Umbarger
request the record to show they concur with the ``Explanation of Vote'' offered by Senator
Kerr on SB 639.
Mr. President: Our local school districts are crying out for additional funding in
increased base aid per pupil funding for K-12 public schools by $50 this year. Our social
service programs face tremendous shortfalls in this budget. Foster care is shorted $6 million.
Nursing facilities are shorted $11.16 million. Funding for programs that enable disabled
Kansans to remain in their communities are shorted $12.3 million. College students and
their families were hit with two separate tuition increases last year and no increases in
financial aid.
This is a tight budget year. State revenues have not kept up with projections, and there
is belt tightening necessary. However, when discussions on additional revenues are dismissed
and millions in accounts receivable remain uncollected, I will not vote for a budget that so
clearly clashes with the basic priorities I share with the people in my district. Neither should
this budget be balanced on KPERS contributions or on revenues needed by cities and
counties.
I will continue to insist that the state meet its responsibility to strengthen communities
and provide opportunity for all. Those are values shared by all Kansans, and those are values
that our Government should hold as well.--Marge Petty
Senators Barone, Downey, Feleciano, Gilstrap, Gooch, Jones and Stephens request the
record to show they concur with the ``Explanation of Vote'' offered by Senator Petty on SB
639.
Mr. President: I vote ``aye'' on SB 639, because I consider it a temporary budget, a
work in progress.
It's true that prior to today there has not been a full debate on the spending priorities of
this body.
There's a long way to go before we have a final budget for the year 2001. Perhaps between
now and the final budget we can consider priorities and options on funding and revenue
sources. I reserve judgement on how I will vote on the final omnibus budget.--Pat Ranson
Senators Brownlee and Oleen request the record to show they concur with the
``Explanation of Vote'' offered by Senator Ranson on SB 639.
