Jackie Onassis auction breaks records at Sotheby's
The Sotheby's sale drew buyers eager for presidential memorabilia as many items failed to rise in value yet the end saw dramatic bids. A model of Air Force One sold for 42,500 after opening at 10,000 while a set of green tumblers fetched 38,000 and a Caroline Kennedy cat portrait went for 13,000. Don Carter said the event offered a unique chance to own Jackie’s keepsakes. Carter later paid 110,000 for an inscribed Christmas gift from Jackie to her mother and stepfather after her husband’s assassination.

Impasse over school mill levy plan extends wrap-up session
Lawmakers face a weekend deadline as both chambers must pass a new extension to avoid Monday adjournment. The dispute centers on property tax relief funding tied to a 35 mill levy renewal and how much drains the plan would place on the state general fund. The Kline plan would inject 226 million in one time funds by shifting second-half tax payments earlier, while Graves opposes any hit to state finances even as Goossen’s rival plan gains Senate support. Key features include renewing the 35 mills, boosting per pupil aid by 54 to 3680 by 1999 2000, phasing out mills over six years with exemptions eventually eliminating property taxes by 2002.

Indian compacts in Kansas prompt federal dispute
Graves negotiated compacts with four Kansas tribes Sac and Fox Kickapoo Prairie Band Potawatomi and Iowa allowing casinos on reservation land with games like roulette blackjack poker and craps. ONeal cites Seminole ruling that states must negotiate only for games already legal. Matson says compacts were negotiated in good faith and a deal is a deal. The 1987 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act requires such compacts for legalized gambling.
