Kansas Briefs: Miller to Appeal Ruling on Bingo Law
Kansas Attorney General Vern Miller announced plans to appeal a district court decision that the new bingo law legalizes slot machines. The ruling, from Judge Robert Stadler in Iola, said slot machines share characteristics with bingo and are legal in licensed private clubs. The appeal could address whether the entire 1971 Legislature act is valid or only its slot machine provision.

The Special Legislative Committee on Assessment and Taxation discussed options including higher income tax, severance taxes on gas and coal, and a tobacco products tax. A 10 percent levy on non cigarette tobacco was recommended, while voters in 1972 face an election that may limit tax increases.

The dispute traces from Agnew's Boston denunciation to Staggers subpoenas seeking outtakes and internal materials, with CBS arguing only unreleased edits remain.
