Legislature eyes spring as Kansas pivots on small issues
Martin Hawver notes the 2003 Kansas Legislature faces a bland budget from Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and no big policy aims. With spring approaching, lawmakers may tackle smaller, under-the-radar questions like water quality, telecom line sharing, school budgets, and prison planning while awaiting a stronger economy. The absence of a bold top-down vision shifts focus to local, incremental agendas.
