Highway Decision In Kansas Legislature Tuesday
In Topeka the Kansas Legislature prepared to vote on an accelerated highway program. A conference committee report outlining a proposed deal was to be considered in the House Tuesday morning and, if approved, would go to the Senate that afternoon then to Gov. Docking for signature.
