Kansas Senate Debates Hutchinson to Oklahoma Turnpike Bill
The Kansas Senate planned to debate a bill authorizing bonds for a toll road from Hutchinson to Oklahoma in segments Hutchinson to Wichita and Wichita to Strother Field, with opposition over removing the Hutchinson to Wichita portion. Senate leaders expect a floor vote, while critics allege political pressure and conflict over route choices and a possible later study of a Strother Field to Galena turnpike.

Retirement Bill Extends Kansas Legislature to Public Pensions
The Kansas House passed a bill bringing lawmakers into the public employee retirement system on a participating basis by a 69 to 45 vote and sent it to the Senate. A separate measure to boost interest on inactive funds was approved and returned to the Senate for consideration of amendments, with the main change extending the state maximum rate to cities and school districts. Opponents warned it would cost districts hundreds of thousands annually, while supporters said it would create uniformity and could raise annual state interest by over one million dollars.
