State legislative dreams come true for Pete McGill
Duane S. Pete McGill of Winfield, a 14-year House veteran and former speaker, will not hold a seat in the 1977 Kansas Legislature. He says gains toward making the legislature a co equal branch include replacing the Legislative Council with interim committees and creating an independent fiscal division to vet the budget. He seeks better committee staffing, fewer staff in some areas, and improved public updates on hearings while retiring to family and business in Winfield, though colleagues doubt permanent retirement.
