House gives approval to redistricting map in Kansas
TOPEKA AP The Kansas House approved the redistricting bill that redraws the 40 Senate districts, one vote from sending it to Gov. Bill Graves. A coalition of Senate Democrats with conservative Republicans backed the plan over objections from Senate President Dave Kerr. Graves said he may need Democratic votes in the Senate for tax hikes to avoid deep education and social service cuts. Lee would be placed in a district with Salmans under the House plan, or with Clark under Kerr’s plan, with Lee opposing a deal that would pit Democrats against GOP conservatives. All 21 pro map senators urged Graves to sign. Kerr criticized the process as secret and said he did not expect House changes.
