Banda advocate faces multiple felony charges in Kansas case
The Finney County case stems from a March school program where a son’s comments led to a drug and child in need of care investigation. Police found 1.25 pounds of marijuana in various forms and a cannabis oil lab at Banda's home, placing the child in protective custody amid a gag order. Supporters have raised funds and online petitions urging dismissal of charges.

Kansas Tax Plan Debated Late Friday Night
Lawmakers argued over a plan taxing non-wage business income at 2.7 percent and restricting itemized deductions, with a sales tax rise to 6.45 percent in July. Democrats and some Republicans criticized the measure, saying it shifts burden to middle and working families and undermines fiscal prudence. The deal also proposed groceries taxed at 5.7 percent in 2016, down from 5.9 percent sought by negotiators.
