Kansas Governor Bill Graves urged the Governmental Ethics Commission to require independent groups to disclose financial involvement in campaigns. Senate leaders and House speakers backed the effort, citing fairness and First Amendment considerations as debates over broadening the Campaign Finance Act continue.
A Kansas Senate Elections and Local Government Committee vote 6-2 endorses a constitutional amendment to stop adjusting the federal census for students soldiers and airmen. If approved turnout would shrink university city districts to about 60 000 people and end the state’s agricultural census practice that inflates representation costs likely next week House debate.
Leaders say the Kansas Choice Alliance will replace the disbanded Pro-Choice Action League of Wichita as the state’s top advocate for abortion rights. Barbara Duke vowed continued defense of women’s rights, while Sen. Pat Ranson and Sen. Lana Oleen urged stronger action and a bill mirroring federal abortion law to define third trimester limits. Two antiabortion groups planned rallies at the Statehouse on Roe v. Wade’s 26th anniversary.
Local officials fear Graves plan to end vehicle property taxes by 2004 shifts funding from counties to the state general fund. They worry future legislatures could reduce replacement revenue, while Rep. Powell’s alternative offers a refundable income tax credit. Both plans phase in over four years, with officials urging Powell’s option.
A bill introduced by the Senate Federal and State Affairs committee would give legislators a $250 monthly supplement for the nine months out of session. The plan also proposes higher pay for members from geographically large districts, building on Sen. Ben Vidricksen's earlier proposal.
Legislation proposes higher pay for lawmakers with large districts, detailing 0.9 cents per square mile for non-session periods across 20 two week blocks. Widricksen adds 2 cents per square mile per month when not in session and a $200 monthly raise to $800. Estimated annual cost rises by $371,250.
