AP Kansas Senate approves a one day auto permit for state parks at 1.00, replacing the current three day permit costing 3.00. The bill passed 31 to 1 after a lengthy opposition from two Democratic senators. Governor Avery and state park authority urged the cut in response to user complaints. Senator Janssen opposed the bill while Liebert supported it. The Senate also sent appropriation bills for capital improvements at colleges and for operating state agencies, and did not fund a wage survey for minority employees requested by the Kansas Civil Rights Commission.
