Trustees postpone decision on Finney County building fund election
GCCC trustees delay a special election on March 30 for the Finney County building fund begun in 1974. The fund finances up to one mill property tax for construction and maintenance for 10 years, about $370,000 yearly. Several members urge public clarity on cost and tax impacts while others note possible future debt costs and program needs.

Convicted killer charged in shooting at Kansas store
Convicted killer Maune, who was 15 when the shooting occurred, entered the store wearing a ski mask and shot Mayers after recognition. Mayers died two days later. The Wyandotte County DA's office asked the federal government to step in and locate Maune. A preliminary hearing is set for April 1 to determine probable cause for binding over for trial. Campbell, paralyzed from the waist down, recalls the night and Maune’s identity. Mayers’s mother, curator of a local museum, strives for restraint amid the community ties surrounding Maune’s family.

Building based budgeting favored for Kansas schools
Consultant Walt Chappell urged the Kansas Senate Education Committee to fund public education by allocating money per school building rather than applying a fixed state formula. He argued the building based approach is fair and would replace an unconstitutional funding formula, criticizing tax focus and politics in setting a roughly 2.6 billion dollar annual education budget.
