House Debates Pay Bill for National Guard in Final Week Move
The Kansas House debated and sent to the governor a bill to end state pay for National Guard drills after a Thursday vote failed to reach the 63 votes needed. The bill would cut the 25 cent per drill pay, though Rep. Jess Taylor's amendment passed 66 44. Local measures on bonds and levies were tentatively approved, including $25,000 in Montgomery County bonds, a $129,000 Leavenworth County bond for a poorhouse, and a mill levy for mental health in Lawrence and Douglas Counties. A new dairy regulation bill would centralize dairy oversight under the dairy commissioner and fund inspections with a half cent tax per 100 pounds of milk.
