Governor Laura Kellys proposed 2.5% raise for Kansas state workers faces resistance from Republican leaders, who settle on a 1% increase for the most underpaid employees. House budget chair Troy Waymaster advocates for targeted raises based on market study, while Senate chair Rick Billinger prefers a small boost for everyone. Governor Kelly criticizes the move, highlighting lawmakers 4% automatic raise and total pay near $58,000. The bill heads for final votes, with plans to revisit pay next year.
