Oil prices fall but consumer relief remains distant
Oil has dropped about six dollars a barrel since October with wholesale gasoline and home heating oil down modestly, yet retail prices lag. Critics say noncompetitive markets and delayed price adjustments keep pumps high while heating bills stay weather influenced. Industry cites supply demand dynamics and mild winter as factors behind the disparate moves. Since November 19 the pump price of regular unleaded fell to 1.097 dollars per gallon.

Sawyer seeks study of casino gambling in Kansas
Kansas legislative leader asks Attorney General Bob Stephan for an opinion on whether casino gambling is legal without a constitutional amendment. House Majority Leader Tom Sawyer notes voters approved a state lottery amendment in 1986, but argues the legal definition may or may not encompass games like craps and roulette. Stephan has said the definition is broad. Sawyer wants a ruling to guide potential proposals on riverboat and tribal casinos.

The proposal aims to air major races like the Kentucky Derby and expand broadcasts to county fair tracks, hoping to revive a sagging industry while drawing concern from Wichita Greyhound Park and Eureka Downs officials over potential live-race losses and longer broadcasting windows.
