Kansas lawmakers clash over budget session powers
In Topeka the Kansas Legislature opened its budget session amid sharp disagreements over what can be enacted before July 1. Gov Hall proposes 1957-58 spending and taxes, with estimates of up to 20 million dollars in new revenue. Attorney General Fatzer outlined how ad valorem taxes and fee hikes could fund operations, while lawmakers debated whether the session can pass new taxes or confirm appointments or accept the MacLennan bequest for a governor’s mansion. Several state senators and representatives participated in a related advisory conference.
