Sawyer plan draws fire over Kansas scholarship proposal
Lt. Gov. Gary Sherrer blasts Tom Sawyer for redirecting $42 million a year in lottery proceeds from economic development to fully fund tuition for high school graduates with B averages. Sawyer argues STARS would attract businesses by guaranteeing college access, while Sherrer notes other lottery funds fund vocational schools, juvenile facilities, and the water plan. Discrepancies over current lottery totals and the impact on development programs fuel the clash in the fall campaign.
