Strange Twist For Carlin On His Maiden Voyage
Kansas Governor John Carlin dominated the 1979 legislative session with notable vetoes and expanded executive power. He blocked a death penalty bill, won greater Kansas Corporation Commission authority, and secured tax relief measures including a 22 million dollar exemption from the sales tax. The session also created a coed prison, moved unclaimed property into state hands, and raised the wheat mill levy to three mills to fund wheat promotion and research.
