State GOP unveils top eight priorities for session
In Topeka the Republican leadership outlined eight goals aimed at cutting taxes and spending. They propose removing the food sales tax, expanding the Kansas Corporation Commission, freezing state hiring, and enacting a state spending lid. They advocate closing property tax loopholes and extending the energy act, with a Sunset Law revival and no new agencies. The plan seeks a larger ECC, a projected $60 million to $85 million annual reserve, and funding for vocational-technical school upgrades.

Home remodeling boom drives 1979 market expansion
The article notes a surging home modernization trend through 1979 driven by higher construction costs and strong resale of existing homes. It cites 3.8 million existing single family homes sold in 1978 with 3.9 million projected for 1979, and 1.384 million new starts in 1978 with a 1.2 million projection for 1979. It forecasts a $7 billion modernization market for major alterations, excluding applicator work, and reports retailer expectations of a 15 to 20 percent rise in contractor remodeling sales as do-it-yourself demand grows. It also discusses modular furniture growth, with furniture retailers attributing up to half of contemporary sales to modular seating, though full-constructed modular makers claim less than 50 percent of sales.
