Hearing Stirs Kansas Senate Over Heating Aid Charade
Senate Minority Leader Jack Steineger stormed out of a Ways and Means hearing on a proposed state program to aid low income Kansans with heating bills. He called the session a charade and said testimony was irrelevant while asserting the measure unnecessary. The bill would require SRS to run the aid program, which has already received federal funding and state support. Action on the bill was postponed as supporters argued the program should stay under SRS and not shift to another agency.
