Rep. Sydney Carlin said Monday she decided to flip her vote last week on a package of 15 overrides of Gov. Laura Kelly’s budget vetoes because of K-State.
Carlin, a Manhattan Democrat, told The Mercury her decision was based on protecting a funding request from Kansas State University to construct a diagnostic laboratory at the university’s Veterinary Medical Center.
“There’s been some argument about whether it was really a state lab or not,” she said. “(Kelly) vetoed it two years in a row, and I thought, ‘This can’t go on.’”
