From the Shawnee Mission Post:

“The task before the legislature is to reflect our priorities by funding the core functions of government in ways that protect our quality of life. The effects of ignoring other areas (such as the department of children and families) are clear. Even as we move to fund our priorities, this isn’t a case of an either/or situation. We must have an adequate and equitable school funding formula. Continued failure to fund adequately and equitably must be acknowledged for what it is: a failure to uphold the rule of law.”
