Judge limits Edwards defense witness testimony in trial
Federal judge restricts former FEC chairman Scott E. Thomas from detailing opinions and prior rulings on campaign finance law. The move narrows defense claims that large secret payments to Edwards' mistress were gifts, not political contributions. The judge will allow a limited appearance, deeming much of his expected testimony irrelevant.

Garden City set to vote on TIF plan for Menards project
Finney County leaders weigh a Collett & Associates retail bid with a promised Menards store open by next spring. City officials hope a TIF district would cover about 17.0 million in public costs across phases, backed by foregone property tax revenue and new sales tax gains, while street and utility work could total over 4 million and 1.2 million respectively. Local business owners caution against government financing and urge a level playing field, as the county board prepares a Monday meeting to decide on the ordinance and potential resolutions by Thursday.

Lawmakers press tax cuts plan amid budget concerns in Kansas
Kansas lawmakers push for income and sales tax reductions including a drop in the sales tax to 5.7 percent starting July 2013. The package would widen deficits, with researchers forecasting a shortfall through 2018. NAACP urges veto citing potential cuts to services for the poor and regressive effects on low income families. Democrats warn against eroding state obligations while conservatives push for broader income tax elimination.
