Hayden Encouraged By Highway Panels Work In Topeka

Gov. Mike Hayden said he is encouraged by the work of Kansas Legislature transportation committees as they draft alternatives to his 1.71 billion highway program. The House panel agreed on financing a smaller plan, while the Senate panel failed to reach a plan. The governor urged progress and noted voter tax increases and bond plans. He announced a Aug. 31 special session to consider the plan and continued his 22 city tour through the state. Critics argue the public opposes tax hikes, while Hayden stresses highway safety and modernization.

Housing Boards Speak On Rising Homeless Numbers

The Partnership for the Homeless reports a 20 percent rise in homelessness across 47 cities from November 1986 to March 1987 and a 14 percent widening gap between homeless people and shelter space. Over 90 percent of shelters turned away homeless individuals at times due to space limits. Families with children grew to 35 percent of the homeless population, the largest group. The group blames federal policy and funding gaps, urging a national Endowment for the Homeless with an initial $500 million. Contact details provided.
