GOP seeks repeal of Kansas college savings match
Republicans and the House Appropriations Committee voted to recommend repealing the state match for Learning Quest, a postsecondary education savings plan. Rep. Pete DeGraaf says the grant benefits only a few and can hinder other financing, as the state eyes spending 115000 to demolish an old house used by the Department of Labor near the Statehouse.
