State School Bill Up For Debate In Senate
A state Senate debate was set on a bill authorizing nearly 25 million dollars for operating expenses of state schools. It includes a five percent faculty salary increase to be directly allocated to schools, though Gov Docking favors sending the raises to the board of regents for distribution after review. Docking also proposed a tax package to fund roads, with a four cent gas tax, lower truck fees, and a new ton mile tax expected to raise about 14.3 million annually, facing opposition from the Kansas Motor Carriers Assn over rate comparisons with Colorado and proposed license fees. The association argued Kansas truckers would bear the main burden and receive little relief.
