Residents urge moratorium on state's classification amendment
A Wednesday town meeting at South Junior High drew about 150 people to urge legislators to pause the 1986 classification amendment. Jim Mayer of the Kansas Association of Realtors warned it will raise taxes on small businesses and cited Emporia Country Club taxes rising from 16000 to 80000. Panelists argued the plan hurts small business, with many residents unknowingly voting for a complex measure and many misperceptions about reappraisal and exemptions.

Smoking study links nicotine to higher calorie burn
Nancy Rigotti of Harvard notes that nicotine may raise metabolism, explaining why smokers use more calories. The NEJM study, based on New England findings, counters the idea that weight gain upon quitting is due to replacing tobacco with food.
