Dozens of advocates for disabled Kansans and public agencies gathered in Topeka to urge action on education funding. They backed Speaker Doug Mays and criticized the Supreme Court for overstepping, arguing lawmakers determine school funding levels despite the court order.
Kansas lawmakers in a seventh day of a special session face a potential order to freeze nearly 3 billion dollars in state funding. The move could shutter schools ahead of a late start affecting 445,000 students and more than 64,000 staff. Speaker Doug Mays defends legislative control over appropriations amid a push to block funding while a constitutional amendment is reviewed. The court may pursue drastic action if the response does not satisfy the judiciary.
In Garden City, Marisela Renteria once faced $100 long distance bills. Now ethnic stores and chains stock dozens of prepaid cards, driving a $3 billion niche as immigrants use cheaper calls home. Panaderia Alexis sells many cards, attracting 70 percent of customers seeking Mexico, Guatemala, or El Salvador contact.
Cattle prices rose despite a mad cow case in Taiwan, which valued exports at 76 million dollars in 2003 and led to a temporary border closure. Analysts expect limited impact given Taiwan’s small prior market, with talks ongoing on Japan and Canada reopenings.
Garden City officials commit to improving Finnup Park's Big Pool despite a 2006 city budget with no pool funds. The pool last saw work in 2004 with an elephant slide and spray toys, and a 2002 master plan guides future annual upgrades led by Mayor Janie Perkins.
Garden City officials plan upgrades for the kiddie pool and consider adding up to three water slides as part of a 10 year plan. Perkins notes economic constraints but emphasizes a young community needs summer recreation and hints at possibly adding only one slide this year.
