Kansas Senate defers airline liquor decision to House
Kansas moves to leave the airline liquor controversy to the House. The Senate approved a bill allowing liquor sales on Amtrak trains and airlines with license fees, while another bill would permit consumption, not sale, on trains and planes and require liquor tax payment. The issue rose after Atty. Gen. Vern Miller urged airlines to stop serving alcohol, drawing national attention and sparking a Capitol debate over open saloon laws. If the House adopts the Senate measures, both options will await House action.
