Kansas House Rejects Quick Move to Put Right to Work on Ballot
The Kansas House blocked an eleventh hour bid to bypass Governor Hall and place the right to work issue on the 1956 general election ballot. A proposed constitutional amendment would add the right to work to the state bill of rights if two thirds approve, not requiring the governor’s signature. Debates highlighted party tensions and claims the move aims to embarrass the governor while stressing public anger over the issue.
