Panel Critical of Prison Cuts In Kansas Budget
The Senate Ways and Means Committee criticized Gov. Graves proposals to cut corrections programs as it approved a $229 million fiscal year 2001 budget. Lawmakers cited crowded prisons, full facilities, and tight state revenues from the 1999 shortfall as they delayed action on a $17.3 million renovation plan.

Kansas House approves bill on tobacco legal fees
The Kansas House Taxation Committee passed HCR 6012 directing Attorney General Carla Stovall to seek a ruling on whether 27 million dollars in fees for her former law firms representing the state in tobacco litigation are reasonable. The process could involve Shawnee County District Court, the Kansas Supreme Court, federal court or the disciplinary administrator. Critics questioned Stovall’s decisions while supporters said the amendment preserves flexibility and protects funds from the master tobacco settlement.
