ABC Warns Of Cost Of Raising Drinking Age
Kansas ABC director John Lamb told a House committee raising the legal drinking age from 18 to 21 would require six to 15 additional agents and could be costly. He noted 27 agents statewide already, enforcement across clubs and stores, border patrol not prioritized, and a loophole allowing clubs to change names to dodge licenses.

Budget Freeze Gains Support In The House
In Topeka Kansas at least 50 of the 125 Kansas House members back a spending cap or inflation tied growth. Four Republicans plan to introduce two resolutions offering a flat spending level or a 3.6 percent cap matching the 1964 CPI rise. Governor Carlin seeks a 9.2 percent increase next year.
