Wagnon to overhaul tax panel with open drafting plan
Rep. Joan Wagnon, new chair of the House Taxation Committee, proposes public, consensus building to draft a property tax relief bill. She aims to involve all 23 members, reduce lobbyist gatekeeping, and push for broad support in the 1991 Legislature. Possible revenue sources include sales tax changes and new taxes. The Lotto America jackpot rollover and Kansas Lottery results follow, noting no big winners and upcoming draws.

Free hostage urges US attack on Iraqi munitions plant
Lorin Hubbard, a 66 year old Boeing executive freed after four and a half months as a human shield, said he hoped U S bombs would destroy the Iraqi munitions plant near Baghdad. He and his wife were captured in Kuwait City after Iraq invaded Kuwait and were held in a plant office about 40 miles west of Baghdad. Hubbard, from Seattle, urged a ground-shaking hit and said he believed Kuwaitis would welcome a U S military push.

NASA weighing a Tuesday landing at Edwards or Cape Canaveral after rain threats. Columbia astronauts race to complete as many ultraviolet and X ray observations as possible, but software and pointing glitches limited results to about 160 observations if the mission ends on schedule. An early landing could trim up to 35 additional observations, officials said.
