Gleason plans no major changes for next season, aims for strong guest stars, and will film Diamond Jim Brady in Florida.

Gas Tax Proposal Studied In Kansas Legislature
TOPEKA AP Proposals for a 5 percent franchise tax on natural gas shipped out of Kansas and a 5 percent severance tax on oil were presented to a joint legislative committee studying the state tax structure.
