Economy surges to record proportions in 1993
The 1993 GDP expansion reached 2.9 percent for the year, the strongest in five years, driven by auto restocking, crop rebounds, and lower interest rates amid the deficit-cutting push. Inflation stayed tame as crude oil prices fell, while housing and durable goods spiked. Government purchases and trade dragged on fourth quarter growth.

Shelor critiques crime guidelines and prison limits
Shelor argues the law gives at most 90 days for violations and spares prison for many property crimes with presumptive probation. He cites a Shawnee County case where a 21st felony avoided prison due to nonperson crimes like forgery theft and burglary. He notes lawmakers show sentiment to change guidelines but doubts passage today. He praises Attorney General Bob Stephan yet notes indictments for perjury stemming from a sexual harassment judgment against a former employee.
