GOP Speeds Up Legislative Plans
In Topeka Republicans moved quickly to advance major bills. A Ways and Means package would boost local sales tax allocations and cut taxes by 2.5 million dollars, while another measure would raise state emergency aid to schools by 9 dollars per pupil but offset local levies. Proposals suspend school and hospital building levies for one year with funds transferred from the general and sales tax funds to cover the gap.
