Kansas House advances union fundraising limits
The Kansas House approved a bill to bar automatic payroll deductions for political activity by public unions, a move supporters say protects workers while critics call it an attack on unions. The measure passed 66-54 and now goes to the Senate, with GOP majorities and Gov. Brownback’s stance making enactment likely this year.

Kansas Senate OKs change to appellate court selection
Kansas Senate approved a constitutional amendment giving the governor and Legislature broader control over appellate court appointments, scrapping the attorney led nominating commission. The measure faces House debate and could aim for the November 2014 ballot. The plan would empower gubernatorial picks subject to Senate confirmation, with voters deciding later on retention. Conservative Republicans push the reform, arguing for broader legitimacy and accountability in the judiciary.
