Bill targets lawmakers' allowance in Kansas Legislature
The Senate Ways and Means Committee reviews a bill proposed by Sen. Jim Barnett to freeze the legislators per diem at 116 a day for two years rather than raise it. House leaders propose a 5 percent salary cut and skipping pay on three Fridays to trim costs. If enacted, the changes could save about 170000 to 384000 annually, depending on the measures.
