Kansas lawmakers weigh trailer bill on casino changes
As the session nears its end rumors swirled about a trailer bill to modify the casino bill by removing Sumner County as a potential site and adding a revenue-sharing plan. The measure did not surface as leaders avoid reopening the gambling debate. House Speaker Melvin Neufeld urged KU Hospital to be central to cancer-center goals amid funding, while KU officials noted national designation tends to go to larger centers. Senate President Morris projected a five-day wrap-up starting April 25 to finish budget work, with conference committees to resolve differences and a final report ready within hours. A voter ID and citizenship proof bill failed 61-61 in the House, cited as a barrier to voting, though supporters argued it targeted potential fraud. Regents officials hope gambling revenue helps repairs, but Morris warned against relying on them soon.
