Kansas AG seeks funds to expand cyber crime unit

He aims to hire staff and expand prosecution and public education, emphasizing prevention through NetSmartz education to reach 70000 Kansans and shield children from online predators.

SCHIP veto a political poison for GOP
Washington columnist David Broder notes the Tuesday vote of 151 House Republicans with the White House against SCHIP expansion, calling the move a political poison for the GOP as they face voters next year. He cites Bush’s stance, conservative skeptics like Grassley and Hatch, and the broad support from governors and advocacy groups for extending coverage. He argues the plan’s funding via cigarette tax and alternative proposals fail to sway the party, risking voter trust ahead of 2006 contests.

Carlin backs severance tax as KU funding woes loom
Kansas Governor John Carlin reaffirmed commitment to enacting an oil and gas severance tax, calling a 4-cent motor fuel tax hike inadequate to cover state shortages. He urged the severance tax as top priority to fund state needs. Chancellor Budig warned further budget cuts would deeply affect KU, which had already reduced spending by 4 percent amid projected shortfalls. Town Hall discussions covered street-pay policy KU taxpayers impact and a proposed $10 wheel tax. A KU law professor, Martin Dickinson Jr, returned to teach, continuing a family KU legacy.
