Sen. Moran Holds Virtual Town Hall to Discuss Budget Reconciliation Bill
Senator Jerry Moran Convenes Town Hall with Hospital Leaders
Kansas hospital leaders ask their questions and learn more about the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that passed the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives.
(July 3, 2025) – Kansas hospitals appreciated the invitation from Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS) to join a virtual
town hall to discuss the Budget Reconciliation Bill. The U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives passed
the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which is now headed to President Trump for his signature.
This afternoon, more than 100 hospital leaders were able to join the virtual town hall. Senator Moran was able
to highlight several challenges in the original Senate version of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that were
mitigated. Kansas hospitals on the call were able to ask questions, share concerns and thank the Senator for
his leadership and advocating for Kansas and Kansas hospitals.
Specific issues discussed included how the bill maintains language grandfathering Kansas’ provider assessment
and state directed payment rates, including language protecting the enhanced support for Critical Access
Hospitals and Rural Emergency Hospitals approved by the Kansas legislature earlier this year. Sen Moran
highlighted the Rural Health Transformation Fund. This Fund was increased to $50 billion ($10 billion per year
for five years). He also discussed delaying the wind down of the Medicaid state directed payments for an
additional year which will be a benefit to Kansas hospitals.
Kansas hospitals are appreciative of Sen. Moran’s work to ensure hospitals will continue to be eligible to
receive up to $5 billion in additional Medicaid payments over the next 10 years through the Kansas provider
assessment and state directed payment programs. This funding was in jeopardy with the original Senate
language in the bill. Kansas will now be able to proceed with the provider assessment that was approved by
the Kansas legislature earlier this year.
At the conclusion of the town hall, Sen. Moran discussed his commitment to continue supporting Kansas
hospitals, including efforts on the 340B Program and Medicare Advantage.
KS June Tax Collections Above Estimate
June Total Tax Collections at $1.06 Billion;
7.4% Above Estimate
TOPEKA – The State of Kansas ends June 2025 with total tax collections at $1.06 billion. That is $72.6 million, or 7.4%, above the estimate. Total tax collections were up 3.2% from June 2024.
“While this month’s stronger-than-expected revenues are a welcome sign, it does not alleviate my concern that the state legislature’s budget will put Kansas in the red by over $375 million by 2029,” Governor Laura Kelly said. “Even with current revenues exceeding the forecast, the budget created by the state legislature still has us spending $300 to $700 million more than we receive each year for the foreseeable future, jeopardizing the long-term fiscal health of the state, which I have prioritized as governor.”
Keeping Kansas on the path of fiscal stability will require discipline in the coming years to prevent a return to four-day school weeks, crumbling roads and bridges, and a depleted rainy day fund.

Amended FSCC Trustees Special Meeting Today, July 10
The Fort Scott Community College Board of Trustees will hold a special meeting at noon on Thursday, July 10 in the Cleaver-Burris-Boileau Hall to address the RNR rate for the 2025-26 budget, approve personnel items, and meet in executive session to discuss personnel matters.
Federal Funding Freeze Will Affect USD 234
All American schools, including local schools, will be impacted by the funding freeze that President Trump has directed the U.S. Department of Education to delay, pending a review.
Destry Brown, superintendent of USD 234, Fort Scott’s school district, wrote the following about how the funding freeze will affect his district.
“The federal funding freeze has affected two of our Title funds.
“The first is Title IIA. This money is used for professional development for our teachers and administrators. Title IIA provides $120,000 toward professional development. This accounts for 90% of our professional development budget. The impact of withholding that funding is that we will not be able to send staff for professional development. The State no longer provides funds to be specifically used for professional development any longer. As we prepare our budget for this school year, we do not expect to be able to fill this gap in funding.
“The other fund that is impacted is Title IV. This fund provides funding for innovative programs that enhance Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math programs in the district, to provide more hands-on, interactive learning activities for our students. Title IV provides $38,000 to the district for these activities. The loss in funding will impact our ability to provide some of these updates and enhancements. Any updates will be funded through our regular supply and equipment accounts for each building.
“Currently, the State (of Kansas government) has advised us to budget as if we will receive the funds and spend as if we will not. The State expects to hear more about this funding later this month. Our understanding is that the money is being held while the US Department of Education evaluates these two programs.”

How Federal Education Funding Freeze Will Effect U235 School District
All American schools, including local schools, will be impacted by the funding freeze that President Trump has directed the U.S. Department of Education to delay, pending a review.
USD235 Superintendent Vance Eden remains hopeful that the Trump administration will unfreeze funds, enabling schools to continue operations as authorized by Congress, he said.
Here is his statement
“The Uniontown USD 235 School District receives federal “Title” funds to support students. Currently, the Trump administration has directed the US Department of Education to delay reimbursement of some of these funds until a review can be completed. These Title funds aren’t a single lump of money, but instead are received by the district with individual designations for individual purposes. While we don’t qualify in all categories, the following three specifically apply to Uniontown.
- Title IIA- These funds can be used to reduce class sizes and were initially used to add a teacher, and that position has continued to be paid with Title II funds. Our allocation for the coming year is $25,222. While not all funds the district receives can be used for teacher salaries, this can and has been a meaningful part of our budget and the goal of maintaining a quality salary schedule. The removal of this funding stream will make it more difficult to continue this practice.
- Title IVA- These funds can’t be used on people and but instead are used primarily on safety and security items and also things that “extend the curriculum.” Our next year allocation was set at $17,492. While most are likely unaware if anything in their classroom has been purchased with these funds, the reality is that probably all of them have had some benefit. I manage these funds and purchase qualifying items throughout the school year as teachers submit requisitions that can qualify. As an example, field trips, science experiment supplies, digital cameras for the yearbook team, a pottery wheel, the window display at WBE, and a good chunk of the smartboards in the district are all things that have been purchased with these funds over the past few years. These funds invite creativity and foster a robust and quality learning experience. Losing these funds directly impacts our ability to maintain this commitment in the future without cutting from other areas or increasing the mill levy (which no one wants).
- Title IVB- These funds pay for the WBE after-school program and summer program. Without this allocation, the district will not be able to afford to continue to offer this to students and parents.
We also receive Title I funds, which are used to support math and reading support at WBE. These funds are stated to still be usable for the coming year. This is good news as it represents our largest area of allocation and would be extremely difficult to adjust for in its absence.
I’d encourage you to visit with our federal legislators during this period of review to help them consider this change in direction and priority, as ultimately, they SHOULD control the disbursement of funds. Most likely, none of us enjoys making these contacts, but I want you to be informed and involved, as these decisions will affect us all.”

Work Continues on the Street Corner at 6th and Main
Fort Scott Public Works Department staff were preparing for a concrete pour at the corner of 6th and Main Streets today.
The project is expected to be completed by the end of July, unless other issues are identified.
The project was on the list for work, but water issues at the Neice building, which is being renovated, sped up the timeline.
A staff person said water was pooling in the street corner, which was leaking into the Neice building.
