TeleKansas bill edges toward governor veto rethink
A top aide suggested Gov. Joan Finney may reconsider vetoing a TeleKansas measure. The bill would grant Southwestern Bell two more years of deregulation in exchange for 64 million dollars in state network upgrades and local service protections for jobs. It also requires live operators, prohibits layoffs, and mandates parity with services offered in other states, while aiming to leverage Bell tech in Kansas schools.
