Kansas school aid plan gains final approval in task force
A Kansas legislative task force approved a three year plan to provide 174 million dollars in new state aid for elementary and secondary schools. The draft increases the state share of financing to 50 percent over three years from 45.7 percent as it moves toward introduction in the 1982 Legislature. The plan sets 7 percent budget limits for most districts with poorer districts allowed up to 17 percent more, and imposes penalties for districts with pupil teacher ratios below state medians, effective 1984-85. A second draft on district consolidation was to be considered next. Senator Charlie Angell dissented, calling the plan irresponsible amid a weak economy and reduced federal aid. Representative Mike Hayden urged unified support.

Reagan Holds Out Against 83 Tax Increases
Administration and Republican leaders press for tax rises to shrink deficits in 1983 and beyond, while President Reagan resists. Senate leader Baker urges pairing any tax hikes with cuts in defense and benefits, and discusses possible program protections. Weidenbaum proposes decontrol of gas prices and a targeted consumer tax to spur production and conservation, but opposes windfall taxes on oil. Stockman reportedly plans deep cuts in domestic programs with about 18 billion in benefit reductions for 1983 84, risking deficits over 100 billion through 1986.
