Kansas House considers pay hike tied to teachers salaries
A proposal by Rep. Virgil Peck would set legislative pay at 80 percent of the average teacher daily rate, yielding about 10 000 more per year for lawmakers elected in 2016. Current pay equals 88.66 per day for the 90 day session and 14 700 annually in interim. The plan links lawmakers’ compensation to educator earnings to prompt reflection on education funding. The wage change would raise total pay to about 25 000.

Dodge City approves housing incentives to spur new units
The Dodge City City Commission used the rural housing incentive program for two large projects totaling 197 units, including 65 owner-occupied homes in the Summerton fifth phase and a 132-unit Prairie Point apartment complex. Rents for Prairie Point are set at 700 to 900 monthly, with home prices between 140k and 160k. The program shifts property tax differences to fund infrastructure. City Manager Cherise Tieben cites infrastructure costs as a major delay factor.
