Kansas House advances loan plan to lure rural veterinarians
A bill to train up to five first year veterinarians from Kansas State University and provide 20 000 annual loans for four years won initial House approval. Those who practice in rural Kansas counties for ten years post graduation would have their loans forgiven, with a sliding repayment if they leave early. The program would cost 112 850 in year one and 400 000 by year four, pending funding.

Panel endorses power plant bill in Kansas House
Kansas House Judiciary Committee backed a bill to speed appeals for state air quality permits for Sunflower Electric Co. plants in Finney County. The measure moves review from district court to agency first, then to Court of Appeals, with Supreme Court possible. Sierra Club opposes, warning of increased mercury and pollution. Committee chair says agency expertise favors review. opponents say it aids coal interests and limits public scrutiny. A public hearing is expected before decisions on any permit.
