Senate debates oversight of the STAR bond program as lawmakers weigh limits amid objections from Jim Denning and others. The measure follows concerns over $80 million in Overland Park Prairie Fire, $40 million in Wichita projects, and potential shifts tied to the American Royal incentives. Legislative actions and budget projections frame the scrutiny.

Tenure showdown looms as Kansas fights over 2014 repeal
KNEA and state square off in a high court fight over House Bill 2506, which ended teacher due process protections. The union also cites district suits in Wyandotte and Butler counties on behalf of three teachers claiming tenure rights earned before 2014 were wrongly denied. The case echoes broader debates on education policy and logrolling while university tenure remains separate.
