Well, it was just—remember that day—Dec. 10, 2012, that Gov. Sam Brownback said out loud in public for the first time that he would propose a two-year budget for the state of Kansas?
It was a new wrinkle for a relatively new governor, halfway into his term, and nobody was very sure how it would turn out.
So most state agencies used to looking into the future one fiscal year at a time just asked for the same amount of money in Fiscal Year 2015 (which starts July 1, 2014) that they did for Fiscal Year 2014 (which began July 1 of this year). Oh, they added a dab more for their pension payments which were already scheduled, but it was about static otherwise.
