Legislative Highlights and Corporate Farming in Kansas
Residents near Wichita fear a hazardous waste dump and face health concerns as EPA fines operators $19000 for alleged violations. The state Supreme Court dismissed a bid to expand the dump, while officials push for funds to aid welfare programs amid a weak economy. Aiming to simplify taxes, new bills target motor vehicle tax methods and statewide personal property tax reduction. A Senate panel reports 1864 corporations own 2.75 million acres, about 5.6 percent of Kansas farmland.
