Supreme Court backs Kansas workers' comp reforms as constitutional
The Kansas Supreme Court ruling 6-1 upholds 1993 workers' compensation reforms aimed at speeding claim settlements, reducing attorney involvement, and prompting return to work. Justices reject challenges that rights were too restricted, noting the added benefits still outweigh losses. Justice Allegrucci dissented, citing lack of adequate substitute remedy.

Kansas to monitor large corporate hog farms via new satellite office
Ulysses, Kansas. Gary R. Mitchell, secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, announced a new satellite office in a southwest town to help environmental experts monitor large corporate hog farms. The office, open a month, will field inspections and expand staff as needed, aiming to improve reporting of problems. The issue has sparked regional controversy, with counties earlier authorizing farms and anti corporate groups pushing back. Seward and Lane counties are recent flashpoints, with votes and petitions shaping local decisions.
