Kansas lawmakers weigh tax, rape law, and Wolf Creek bills
In Topeka during week four of the 1983 Legislature, lawmakers fought to remove farm equipment and business aircraft tax exemptions, while debating a rescue for Wolf Creek costs via construction work in progress. A House panel also moved to end the spousal rape exemption, and opposition rose to shifting meat inspections to federal control, despite Gov. Carlin backing the plan.

Pool repairs and lights hinge on scarce funds
Recreation commissioners debated funding for Forest Park pool touchups and a new paint job ahead of the 1983 season. They noted rust in shower fixtures, possible use of liquor tax money for capital improvements, and yearly replacement costs of about 3,500 to 4,000. A portable concession stand yielded modest profits. a permanent stand was favored. Lights on Forest Park tennis courts faced nightly on/off issues, vandalism, and costly bulb replacements, with resurfacing needs for two courts and another in a year. New board members may visit in May to tour facilities.
