Above, Tina Davis speaks with attendants on recent developments in the county. Those at the meeting heard about future plans of the transmission line project, wind energy applications in Kansas and the role of electric cooperatives and small wind electric generation and incentives.

Workers in the Kansas court system no longer face furloughs in February

Supreme Court Justice Lawton Nuss has told judicial branch employees in a letter that the courts have achieved enough savings to avoid unpaid days off this month.

The Supreme Court had said the court system faced an $8 million budget shortfall. It drew up a plan for up to 30 days' worth of furloughs from Feb. 15 to June 15, one week at a time. Furloughs would shut down courthouses.

But Nuss says a hiring freeze imposed in 2008 and other measures have decreased the need for furloughs.

And, he says, if legislators approve a bill containing an additional $5 million for the judicial branch's current budget, the number of furlough days could drop to four.
