Audit outlines unresolved issues in Kansas scale regulation
The 1996 audit and a 2012 13 review show ongoing problems in private scale inspections. Only 19 of 72 inspected scales passed, with many rejected for accuracy or specification gaps. Department officials cite reforms, tiered penalties, and tracking software, but critics say enforcement remains weak and salaries and fees limit progress.

Immigration bill clears procedural Senate hurdle
Senators Cruz and Kaine framed the immigration issue as pivotal with Kaine delivering a Spanish speech about the impact on dozens of millions. The procedural votes moved the bill before the Senate for amendments as Cornyn sought changes like border sweeps and a national E-Verify system amid Democratic opposition labeling it a poison pill. House prospects hinge on committee action as Boehner and McConnell weigh broader fate.
