Challenge To Government Immunity Shocks Kansas Lawmakers
Parsons fireman Gary Janssen and his wife urged the legislature to allow a wrongful death claim after their five year old daughter Sherri was killed by a patient at Parsons State Hospital. The panel backed payment but conditioned on the Janssens dropping suit, as lawmakers weighed whether the state can be sued and risk a constitutional clash over immunity. The case echoes past Kansas Supreme Court flips on state liability.

Basehor Town Faces Alarming Address Confusion
In Basehor Kansas government workers found that only one building carried correct street numbers after a six hour tour by City Clerk Sylvia Lovvorn and Leavenworth County Planning Director Robert Hrabak. The misnumbering stems from post incorporation plat figures and could persist for years unless updated. Most residents will change only one or two digits and legal real estate documents remain unaffected.
