Obama rejects Canada Texas oil pipeline plan
President Obama rejected a proposed 1700 mile TransCanada oil pipeline from western Canada to Texas citing insufficient time for a fair review before a looming deadline. The decision, not a ruling on merits, preserves a path for resubmission with a new route while intensifying cross party and international debate ahead of November elections.

Kansas Senate panel floats new congressional map
The Kansas Senate redistricting panel proposes moving Manhattan and Fort Riley into the 1st District and consolidating Douglas County into the 2nd District. Changes could shift Montgomery County to the 2nd and add parts of six central counties to the 4th while Reno County stays in the 1st. Local leaders favor keeping Manhattan in the 2nd with Fort Leavenworth and KU considered as communities of interest.

Gov Brownback tax overhaul prompts aid offset claim
State officials defend a tax plan that would cut rates for most and tax credits for the poor while keeping sales tax at 6.3 percent. Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan testifies that low income filers under 25000 would face a higher aggregate burden, offset by expanded temporary cash aid and health coverage for needy families. The administration argues the policy helps Kansans more than a one time tax credit.

Kansas bill sought for art checkoff on tax returns
A proposed bill in Kansas would create a tax checkoff to fund the arts via donations on tax returns. Sponsored by 40 Republicans, the plan aims to back the Kansas Arts Commission, amid Gov Brownback’s push to shift state funding to core services. Critics warn the fund may not provide substantial money and require clear use of donations.
