Kansas adopts welfare reform and KPERS bonds in Topeka
Lawmakers while in session approve a $1 billion bond issue for the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System and pass a welfare reform package. The measure tightens TANF time limits and sets ATM withdrawal caps while adding food stamp ID cards. Debate centers on helping work off welfare versus punishing the needy. Brownback signs concealed carry without license. Democratic and Republican leaders clash over poverty and policy during pre-break maneuvering.

Unemployment steady at 55 percent, three month average slipping to 197000, while weather, a stronger dollar, and weaker exports constrain hiring across construction and manufacturing.
