2025年10月6日,堪萨斯州州长劳拉·凯利(Laura Kelly)在2026年立法会议之前,在全州范围发起了一场“人民预算”监听巡演,收集公众关于国家开支的意见,从10月9日开始在8个城市举行活动。 On October 6, 2025, Kansas Governor Laura Kelly launched a statewide “The People’s Budget” listening tour to gather public input on state spending ahead of the 2026 legislative session, with events in eight cities starting October 9. 参观的目的是,在预计每年短缺3亿至7亿美元的情况下,为她的拟议预算提供信息。 The tour aims to inform her budget proposals amid projected annual shortfalls of $300 million to $700 million. 对此,众议院议长Dan Hawkins批评这次巡演具有象征意义,指出立法机构已经削减了2.33亿美元的开支,比总督的建议多出3 000万美元,并强调正在努力消除废物。 In response, House Speaker Dan Hawkins criticized the tour as symbolic, noting the legislature had already cut $233 million in spending—over $30 million more than the governor’s proposal—and emphasized ongoing efforts to eliminate waste.
