KU reduces pay share for Sebelius aide Loomis
The University of Kansas cut its portion of the salary for Gov. Kathleen Sebelius's new communications director, Burdett Loomis, after Republican lawmakers complained about the arrangement. Loomis will be paid by the governor’s office at $88,000, with KU covering the rest, and he will step down from leading the Legislature internship program to avoid conflicts of interest.

Hutchinson used a reverse osmosis solution to address groundwater contamination, with KDHE flexibility reducing federal involvement. Similar ties aid Salina and other cities, smoothing remediation and avoidance of formal EPA designation.
