The 1997 Kansas Legislature faces dueling bills on capital punishment with fourteen House members seeking abolition while others push broader capital crimes. Although the 1994 law exists, no capital murder trials have occurred and only seven crimes currently qualify.
Two southeast Kansas lawmakers Rep. Cindy Empson and Rep. Richard Reinhardt proposed a bipartisan bill to bring the state's 19 community colleges under the Kansas Board of Regents. They argue the move would elevate the colleges' stature and provide property tax relief to residents in most districts. The plan aims to align funding and supervision with regents universities, creating a seamless path from community colleges to higher education.
Nineteen Kansas communities host public two year colleges and under a proposed bill would be coordinated by the regents while keeping local boards. The plan seeks a 5 percent budget increase for FY 1998 and caps local property taxes at 15 mills. It would replace credit hour aid with operating grants, with total state funding rising to about 85 million.
