Death Penalty Backed for Senate Debate in Kansas
Kansas lawmakers moved a death penalty bill from a Senate committee to the floor for debate with a likely Friday vote. Gov. Hayden backs signing the measure, while opponents warn of high costs. The bill would allow lethal injection for premeditated murder or crimes including rape, sodomy, or kidnapping. Meanwhile liquor by the drink compromise was reached after four days of negotiation, restoring a tax package and implementing liquor by the drink in 36 counties. The Legislature also advanced a parental consent abortion bill for minors and passed a workers’ compensation overhaul.
