Legislature Split On Veto Override In Topeka
In Topeka the Senate aimed to override Gov. Carlin's veto of a spending lid bill while House Republicans faced doubt of their override capability. If overridden, a House vote on Carlin's alternative spending plan would follow. Weakened confidence cited after lawmakers missed a midweek session and a prior House vote against the bill. Meanwhile, in Washington Carter ordered cuts to Afghanistan aid, canceling a 250000 military aid program as part of a broader reassessment of U.S. relations and events in Kabul.

Greenwood Bridge repair blocked by Franklin County vote
In a 2-1 ruling the Franklin County Commission rejected Greenwood Township landowners pleas to repair the Greenwood Bridge over the Marais des Cygnes River southeast of Pomona. Commissioners Coffman and Peffly opposed repair citing insufficient traffic value and no new evidence to justify fixing the decaying span. Wasmund voted in favor. The bridge closure, in place for over a year, prompts residents to reroute while a $3.2 million bond plan to replace 51 county spans heads to voters in April.
