Hayden vetoes restoring cuts
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Gov. Mike Hayden used his line item veto power last night to veto part of a bill restoring welfare cuts, eliminating restoration of a $$$ a month a person reduction in Aid to Families with Dependent Children and financing for the Attendant for Independent Living program.
The AFDC restoration amounted to $1.27 million in state general fund spending and the ACIL restoration, $371,484. Those funds would have been buoyed by about $2 million in funds from other sources, including federal funds.
Hayden left intact the restoration of $10.2 million in spending to restore cuts in other welfare programs, including MediKan and General Assistance.
In his veto message, the governor said he signed the remaining parts of the bill reluctantly.
"My reluctance is based on the fact that the Legislature has not developed a solution to the rapidly escalating welfare budget," Hayden said. "The legislative leadership has asked that I sign the bill to allow them time to review the problem."
Hayden had recommended a series of cuts in the budget of welfare programs to help the state Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services, a program of 60 million shortfall in the budgets of some programs.
However, his proposals received heavy criticism from social welfare advocates and legislators who said they were the most vulnerable population in Kansas.
"I'm disappointed," said Senate Minority Leader Michael Johnson, D-Parsons. "But I'm pleased the governor saw fit to leave the bulk of the changes in place. I hope it shows a willingness to continue the dialogue."
Republican legislative leaders had backed Hayden's proposed cuts, saying the cuts were necessary given the state's tight fiscal situation.
"I believe he should have vetoed the whole bill," he said.
Sen. Gus Bogina, R-Shawnee, chairman of the Senate Ways and Means Committee was also disappointed.
A motion to override a veto takes a two-thirds vote in each chamber, or 27 of 40 votes in the Senate and 84 of 125 votes in the House.
"The welfare budget has increased over $100 million in the past year and nearly the same amount the prior year," Hayden said in his message. "We must start toward solving this rapidly escalating budget."
"While it increases expenditures above my budget, it provides funds for those expenditures," Hayden said of the bill.

"I think, hopefully, we piqued people's curiosity," Hamburg said. "Tonight, we saw things from the perspective of an activist. Hopefully, interest will carry through the rest of the lectures."
Childs, who has been with Greenspace since 1987, narrated a slide presentation tracing the environment organization's 15-year history.
Childs said that Greenepeace began as a nuclear weapons protest group in 1971. The group is best known for its campaigns to protect whales and seals.
Childs said that he would describe Greenpeace's protest methods with the words, "Get in the wav."
When Greenpeace began protecting the whaling industry in 1973 by attempting to block ships' harpoons with its inflatable rafts, Chids said, 17 nations in the industry were killing 40,000 whales a year.
Through pressure from Greenpeace and other animal rights groups, three countries remain in the whaling industry and 500 whales a year are killed, Childs said.
Childs said that one of Greenpeace's most recent endeavors was an attempted ban on tuna fishing drift nets that were trapping and killing dolphins. He urged the audience to bovccott tuna.
"It is possible to change what needs to be changed." Childs said.
It is possible to change what needs to be changed, "Childs said. Jay Diffenderfer, Lawrence graduate student, said that Childs' presentation may have enlightened students.
"He showed directly the success of protest," Diffendorfer said. "It was not of people don't think that can happen, and this proved otherwise."
