Nick Haines goes beyond the soundbite and behind the headlines of KC's news.

Kansas finds out it has a $1 billion problem this week. Newly released state revenue estimates show that Kansas will burn through $380 million in reserves and still need to cut $280 million to balance its current budget, which ends in June.
