Capitol renovation gets more oversight and meetings
Legislative budget negotiators push for broader involvement in the Statehouse renovation. The project, now in year seven of 11, has faced cost criticism after a 2000 projection of 120 million rising to 172 million for three of four phases. The House added oversight by the University Research Development and Enhancement Corp., while senators kept existing commissions and leader oversight.

Legislature Briefs on Renovation Commission Measure
The compromise adds three new members to the renovation commission with at least one construction expert and requires meetings at least quarterly. Senators passed the measure 30 to 6 and the House 87 to 29. Rep. Mike O’Neal says the change should help control prison population growth and reduce the need for more than 200 beds.

Inmates to gain more good behavior credit in Kansas bill
Legislators sent Gov. Kathleen Sebelius a bill granting some prison inmates more credit for good behavior. The measure, effective Jan. 1, 2008, raises credit to 20 percent of sentences for drug offenders and felons, up from 15 percent, amid a compromise after concerns about releasing violent offenders. The Kansas Racing and Gaming Commission will hire 35 new staff to support casino and slot programming, costing about 4.4 million dollars annually, including 10 posts to reopen Camptown Greyhound Park and 25 to create a regulatory framework for new casinos.
