State to launch online budget portal by March 1
Kansas officials plan a free searchable Web site detailing state budget information by March 1 under a new budget law. The portal, developed by the Information Network of Kansas and NIC Inc, aims to increase transparency with data from the accounting system. Some board members worry about increased information requests and misuse, while others see clearer oversight and public involvement. The site will roll out in stages with full posting after a $40 million financial system is online, likely by 2011.

Judge rules against unrecognized Wichita tribe in Texas suit
A Texas judge halted the Kaweah Indian Nation and self-proclaimed chief Malcolm Webber from selling memberships to immigrants claiming protection from deportation or Social Security numbers. The ruling, by District Judge Noe Gonzales, follows a default admission in a Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act case. The lawsuit seeks restitution and up to 20,000 dollars per violation, while a parallel federal case targets the tribe and 11 employees with trials set for August 2008.
