Kansas roads need repairs across county network
A TRIP study for the Kansas Good Roads Association finds about 40 percent of county roads and bridges require resurfacing or repair. It proposes a 10 year program costing 168.1 million dollars annually to modernize nearly 113000 miles of roads and 64000 bridges, with statewide funding and reliance on local taxes. The report urges action to halt deterioration and support the economy, though lawmakers doubt feasibility.

Five grain elevator bills advance in Topeka amid bankruptcies
A Topeka legislative panel forwarded five grain elevator bills for the 1983 session after reviewing problems from elevator bankruptcies that cost Kansas farmers millions. The bills seek tighter financial disclosure, higher assets for licensing, a governor appointee Grain Inspection director, sped receivership, heftier penalties including a new grain embezzlement felony, and AG as primary prosecutor. The committee rejected higher bonding despite auditors' push, warning bonds may drive elevators to federal licensing.
