Military pensions back in district court in Kansas
The Kansas Supreme Court sent the military retirement pension case back to Shawnee County District Court to decide if the state must refund taxed pensions to veterans. The U S Supreme Court had ruled tax treatment must be uniform across all pensions, and now the state weighs refunds or exemptions and potential attorney fees. An FBI review begins in a Brown County murder case involving Travis Vaughn, 19, charged with first degree murder in the 1990 death of his white girlfriend.
