Gaar pushes aid for Kansas cities in 1978 session
Norman Gaar demands up to 40 million dollars in 1978 for local government aid and property tax relief as Kansas braces for the legislative session. He cites a windfall surplus from higher-than-expected revenues and says the legislature can fund relief via sales tax cuts or direct aid, with options for city county and tax relief. He plans to back his bill or seek a new approach to win House support.

Sabotage Halts Construction at Jeffrey Energy Center
A sabotage attack on the Jeffrey Energy Center near Kansas City delays work on the $1.1 billion project. Damaged diesel engines, sugar and dirt poured into units, and loosened oil plugs prompted shutdowns of major equipment. A $10,000 reward total was offered for information leading to arrests, with work paused until spring as the loss is estimated at $100,000 plus uncounted time.
