Lakin, KS (westernkansasnews.com) It is safe to say that as the state of Kansas approaches 2015 the only thing that is certain is Governor Sam Brownback has another four years in office. State Representative Russ Jennings of Lakin says what the legislature does about the budget is not so cut and dry.

Jennings knows the legislature needs to get all the information before deciding what to do.

Adequately funding education, a hot button topic over the past two years will not go away in 2015. 

For House Representative Russ Jennings of Lakin the issue creates a balancing act.

The latest budget projections has Kansas 279 million dollars in the hole by next July.
