Ryckman names committee chairs in Kansas House
Kansas House Speaker-elect Ron Ryckman Jr announced a reorganization naming chairs and vice chairs. Rep. Tom Sloan of Lawrence will chair a new Water and Environment Committee, signaling water policy as a top priority. Sloan says clean water will define Kansans and influences future policy beyond education. The new panel replaces duties from Agriculture and Natural Resources and Energy and Environment, addressing a long neglected water focus urged by Gov. Brownback. Sloan, a moderate Republican, retained influence despite shifts in committee assignments.
