   Maybe if the courts acted in an efficient manner, as the court demands of everyone else when the court assess their highway robbery fines and penalties upon them, they likely would not need any more money. The FACT is the Kansas judicial system is EXACTLY like any and every other government department or agency in that it is the epitome of inefficiency simply due to it not having any competition because every government service department and agency is a monopoly. As such, since it will never have a private industry counterpart to compare itself against, they just like all government service entities, will proclaim themselves to be as efficient as possible... and if anyone dares to question their assertion they get yet another monopoly government service entity to investigate and validate their claim. Finally, since there is no competition that a citizen can choose to get the same service and since all citizens are obligated to pay for that service and do not have an option to opt out, they just like any and every other government entity can demand more and more money from the citizens, regardless of their performance or actual value. Any business which is not fully regulated by government that operated as inefficiently as government does, would either fail or would create a market for a competitive company to provide the same service in a more efficient manner. Seriously, think about this situation. A government entity managed to provide a service last year at a set amount all of a sudden needs an additional $20 million to provide the same level of service? Who in their right mind can justify asking for an additional $20 million to provide the same service they provided the year before for $20 million less than they are asking for? Government... thats who.
