Liquor price controls face opposition in Kansas Senate
Tom Larson of The Famous Companies in Topeka told a Senate committee that removing state price controls would harm small retailers. He said 1,200 Kansas retailers operate on thin margins and could not lower prices without doubling volume, questioning where new customers would come from. Larson noted his firm would not cut prices if the Alcohol Beverage Control Division ends minimum price setting.

Kansas professor calls gasohol plan a legal ripoff
Kansas State University grain marketing professor Leonard W. Schruben told a Senate committee that gasohol legislation promoting a gasoline alcohol mix is a legal ripoff. He warned the plan would drain state funds, cost up to 70 million dollars annually, and rely on questionable science while stimulating private windfall for promoters. The push aims to tax break for gasohol and force production facilities and fuel use in Kansas.
