Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback's budget proposals do not include a pay increase for uniformed corrections officers at state prisons.The proposals outlined by Brownback budget director Shawn Sullivan on Wednesday also did not include a proposal from the Kansas Highway Patrol for filling vacant trooper positions.

Sullivan said neither the patrol nor the Department of Corrections made a formal request to Brownback's staff to include such proposals in his budget recommendations. But he said the administration will work with legislators.

Turnover among uniformed officers at prisons has risen to nearly 30 percent with pay starting at $13.61 an hour. Before retiring in December, former Corrections Secretary Ray Roberts said officers needed a pay increase.

The patrol's plan would boost the state's vehicle title fee to finance trooper positions.
