Capitol plan sparks GOP ire over Kansas district map
The plan to redraw Law rence into the 2nd U.S. House District draws GOP and Chamber opposition. It would cut Republican registration there from 42 to 40 percent while boosting Democrats and unaffiliated voters to about 30 percent each. Senate leader Jay Scott Emler defended the proposal, saying claims of a Democratic win are insulting to Lynn Jenkins. The dispute overlays broader concerns as Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas declines to bid on Medicaid managed care, fueling calls for legislative oversight of Gov. Brownback's privatization of care for 350 000 Kansans.
