KU memo warns brackets betting illegal in Kansas
The Kansas University Provost's Office warned faculty staff and students that wagering on NCAA tournament brackets is illegal in Kansas. The memo urges keeping bracket contests to bragging rights and directs questions to in house counsel. KU spokesman Jack Martin says the advisory is campus timing not a response to a specific incident. Lawrence Memorial Hospital spokesperson notes employers handle it themselves.

Kansas House Republicans propose education funding bill
The Kansas House GOP launched an education bill to fully restore funding for poor districts while adding conservative policy changes. It would loosen teacher licensing rules, expand charter programs, double districts exempt from state rules under the public innovative districts program, and create a performance and efficiency commission to cut costs. Rep. Marc Rhoades said the panel would begin discussion Monday as the Senate prepares its own linked funding and policy bill.

Kansas lawmaker seeks major boost in legislative pay during session
Kansas state Rep. Virgil Peck proposes a bill to more than double pay for lawmakers during the session while cutting the retirement package. He argues for higher pay for service to citizens but says former legislators should not keep the current retirement deal. The plan would end annualizing salary for pension calculations and tie pay to 80 percent of the average daily rate, currently 88.66 dollars per session day.
