Fully fund State Water Plan; water supply is diminishing

The single most important issue facing Western Kansas is water. Our water supply is diminishing. Parts of western Kansas have an estimated 10 years left. In this year's budget, we fully fund the State Water Plan for the second year in a row. We'll divert more money to water projects by paying off other debt early?and we'll make additional investments to work with our producers and irrigators to ensure our water quality and quantity.

Opposes cuts to EPA's funding; environment needs protection

[WFK]: Do you approve of President Trump deep cuts in funding for the EPA, and Scott Pruitt's efforts to reduce or eliminate environmental regulations?

[Kelly]: I do not approve of cuts to the EPA. It is important that we have regulations in place to protect the environment and resources like water. It is also important to have an open dialogue between the EPA and states to ensure regulations are crafted with input from farmers, ranchers and local environmental groups.
