Kansas officials have raised their forecast of state revenue through the middle of next year by $252 million.
Economists and state officials had predicted last November that revenue would total $6.2 billion both in the current budget year, which ends June 30, and in the following fiscal year.
On Friday, they raised those projections to slightly less than $6.4 billion this year and more than $6.4 billion in the 2013 fiscal year, which starts July 1.
Steve Anderson, Gov. Sam Brownback's budget director, said the new numbers reflect that the economy continues to grow.

So make sure you spend it all so you can plan for the same and more next year. How's come you can't plan to save or is it the "common nomenclature" that you must spend all of your budget?

Budget? The politicians do not know what the word means. The govenor and the rest are big spenders especially when it comes to business's and certain people that got them elected. They could care less about the rest of us.
