Property rights groups criticize votes in Congress
A national coalition named the League of Private Property Voters cites Rep. Jim Slattery Rep. Dan Glickman and Rep. Jan Meyers for low scores on natural resources issues with 20 21 and 23 percent. Sen. Kassebaum 70 and Sen. Dole and Rep. Roberts 100 percent. The groups oppose federal land control and fees and argue against use restrictions while environmental protection groups warn of hindering conservation. Two Kansas radio networks will air disclaimers before gubernatorial ads after Democrats complained about a mock newscast attacking Rep. Slattery. WIBW general manager Al Lobeck said disclaimers will run as soon as feasible, noting federal law does not bar such ads but stations typically avoid mock newscasts.
