Advocates for the disabled have sued the Kansas Supreme Court over cuts in social services.
In a lawsuit filed Friday, the advocates ask the court to reverse almost $10 million in cuts in services for the mentally disabled made by Gov. Mark Parkinson and legislators.
The case was filed on behalf of three disabled Kansans, three groups providing services to the mentally disabled and Interhab Inc., a group representing service providers.
The lawsuit argues that the cuts violate federal and state laws and a section of the Kansas Constitution that says institutions for the disabled "shall be fostered" by the state.
But Senate President Steve Morris, a Hugoton Republican, says if the cuts are reversed, reductions will have to be made in other parts of the budget.
