Johanns Seen As Cabinet Pick Backed By Panel
Cabinet nominee Mike Johanns testified that reopening trade with Japan is a priority and he would consider relaxing the mad cow disease ban on severely sick cattle. He supported repealing country of origin labeling and said he would align with the administration's voluntary approach while upholding the law. Senators gathered as Sen Pat Roberts chaired the panel due to Saxby Chambliss absence, calling the vote.

Whitham Decides Not to Seek Re Election as Mayor
Mayor Whitham announced he will not seek another term amid a city economy hit by a fire that displaced about 2300 workers. He cites declining sales tax revenue from 2000 to 2008 and a modest rebound in 2004, with a 2002 budget mill levy of 30.65 and a 2005 plan at 33.695 mills. He hopes for fresh candidates to run and says he will continue to serve the public in another capacity. Garden City Commissioner Reynaldo Mesa called his decision unfortunate but understandable given other obligations.
