Sebelius Pushes Education Funding Amid Tax Debate
Governor Sebelius toured Kansas on a two day budget briefing swing telling 1,000 constituents she heard no calls against tax increases. Lawmakers say she aims to raise taxes to fix a 700 million shortfall with a plan that includes no broad education cuts. Opponents criticize a proposed slot machine bill as inadequate and potentially derailing a casino resort project near the Kansas Speedway. Sebelius pledged to submit a full budget within 10 days aiming to restore cash reserves and close the gap.

Eleven cases dropped after officer's firing
A city auditor reports eleven more cases dismissed following an officer's firing. Among the latest batch, eight involve misdemeanor drug possession charges while three are felonies including ecstasy sale to a downtown nightclub, marijuana dealing, and methamphetamine possession. The meth arrest tied to officer Peck drew challenges over legality and evidence, with key dispute over stop grounds and detained passenger. The truck stop occurred July 10, 2001, for an open container at the time, leading to meth found on the floor and in a pocket after a search, but defense argues lack of grounds for detention. The case was dismissed before a ruling on evidence admissibility.

Kansas considers pension bonds to shore up KPERS funding

The plan aims to bridge the gap if bonds finance gains while KPERS seeks favorable investment returns amid past losses. House leadership formed a committee to explore remedies.

Plan would restore millions to universities
Kansas leaders propose issuing 15 million pension obligation bonds and using 2 million in regents funds to pay retirement debt for 280 employees. The move aims to free annual appropriations for universities by investing bond proceeds and earning more than the interest. Kerr calls it smart and fiscally responsible to spur economic revitalization.
