Against all odds, Kansas appears to be in a positive economic position this year.

New figures from the Consensus Revenue Estimate suggest the state will be doing $361 million better this fiscal year and next than expected. Federal aid from the American Recovery Plan is on the way, boosting both cities and the state.

If lawmakers in Washington, D.C., get their act together, we may also see additional spending on infrastructure.

Atop all of that, widespread adoption of the COVID-19 vaccine could finally tame the pandemic that has challenged so many of us.
