Reagan Errs at News Conference on Spending and Policy
President Reagan erred or spoke unclearly on Pentagon spending steel industry employment statistics and issues such as the marriage penalty tax and an Arizona elderly feeding program. Frances Freeman of the South Park Area Council disputed his figures, saying costs overhead and payrolls show no savings, while officials noted misstatements on interest rates and long term bonds and on the scope of the marriage penalty as well as abortion references in California law.

Kansas House Debates Redistricting and Revenue Proposals
The House rejected a Democrat plan 73 to 49 in party line voting and moved a Republican-backed reapportionment proposal toward final roll call, with Sedgwick and Wyandotte counties divided. Senate Democrats then introduced their plan, which preserves counties and shifts Douglas to the 2nd District. State highway funding moves consider a $55 million loan from the freeway fund to the highway fund, tied to a long-term funding solution. Goodyear officials urged incentives, including a sales tax exemption on new equipment, to attract new industry to Kansas.

The plan hinges on Legislative approval of a long range funding package and potential tax adjustments, with Kemp stressing real needs and the risk of accelerated deterioration without funds.
