Finney County balance on oil valuations prompts trust fund concerns
Finney County officials warn that oil and gas valuations, which account for about 30 percent of the county’s assessed value, have driven recent drops and may trigger automatic trust fund reimbursements if declines persist. County leaders expect a modest valuation rebound in 2012 but not to former levels, while other southwest counties report heavy reliance on gas valuations and substantial past contributions to the state fund.

Kansas debates 401(k) style pension plan for public workers
A House committee weighs shifting KPERS toward a 401(k) style plan for teachers and state workers hired after July 1, 2018. Critics warn it won't close a nearly 7.7 billion funding gap and could create two weak systems. Supporters argue long-term costs require change amid interest from Gov. Brownback and Senate leaders.
