Kansas Supreme Court Invalidates Reapportionment
The Kansas Supreme Court ruled that current Senate and House reapportionment is unconstitutional due to errors omitting Leawood and awarding 20 seats to larger counties. The court allows the Legislature to meet in a regular budget session next month and expects Gov. John Anderson to call a special session. The court kept jurisdiction for future actions and criticized clerical errors that voided the act.
