Depending on how the legislation is drawn, some Kansas programs may receive so much new money they wouldn’t be able to spend it fast enough, while others will have to fight with other states, according to officials.
“We want to make sure that every major item is being looked at by some agency,” said Lt. Gov. Mark Parkinson, who is chairman of the newly formed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Advisory Group.
The group started by Gov. Kathleen Sebelius includes leaders from nearly all areas of state government, and it is responsible for making sure Kansas receives its share of the proposed federal stimulus, which is in the $800 billion range.
