Kansas lawmakers consider bonding plan for transportation funding
Hearings aim to steer debate on a plan issuing 1.8 billion dollars in 25 year bonds and shifting 10 percent of sales tax revenues to transportation. House proposals favor minimal bonding with no tax increase, while noting revenue streams could support 8.5 to 9 billion total transportation spending. Senate panel weighs three plans to raise lawmakers' pay and reform retirement.

Mont Bleu ski hill ends as snow fails to cooperate
In the 1960s Mont Bleu drew cross country and downhill skiers before mild winters and scarce snow ended the project. Pat Rapp opened the hill to cross country skiers in 1979, but weather and competition from Snow Creek doomed plans. The lodge remains, the slope overgrown, and few snow days deter visitors.

Bill would ban felon physicians in Kansas
The Kansas Medical Society pushes tough rules after a doctor with a felony sex conviction in Ohio sought a Kansas license and is charged in Kansas with stalking a patient and harassing another. The bill would bar felons from licensure and make license renewal harder, prompted by the October arrest of Wichita doctor Bernard Megaffin.

The
Law seeks to bar felon doctors from Kansas practice
Two years after paroled killer Gary Kleypas murdered a nursing student at Pittsburg State University the proposed medical licensing bill in Kansas would bar doctors with serious felony convictions from renewing licenses or practicing across state lines. The measure follows limited records showing few Kansas doctors with felonies and would require a two thirds board vote for renewal of such licenses.
