Kansas House again takes up a bill to end the 4.9 percent state sales tax on groceries, a move projected to lose about 270 million dollars annually in revenue. The plan faces stiff opposition from Gov. Bill Graves and Senate leaders, while House Democrats push for a significant education governance reform linked to the tax relief effort.

Seven Lawrence school board candidates faced a forum at Sunflower School about teaching evolution in science classes. Responses varied from support for teaching evolution as a theory to calls for a separate class for creationist views. All candidates expressed openness to patron concerns and discussed a proposed foreign language requirement, with positions ranging from strong support to cautious consideration.
