Kansas pension talks stall over 401(k) plan debate
In Topeka the Kansas Legislature stalled as House members pushed for a Senate vote on a 401(k) style retirement plan for teachers and public workers rather than a study. Negotiations broke off with no schedule set as lawmakers confront a $7.7 billion funding gap for KPERS and diverging views on how to fund and reform retirement benefits.

Statehouse bonds at issue in Kansas budget talks
In Topeka the Kansas Statehouse renovation remains a budget sticking point as lawmakers seek a revised plan. Senators back a 34 million bond addition to cover roof, dome copper, ongoing rotunda work, and north wing finishes while omitting a basement visitors center and grounds landscaping. House negotiators showed initial receptiveness but did not commit. The ongoing project began in 2001, targets 2013 completion, and has drawn criticism amid state budget strains.
