Wife who killed husband seeks conviction expunged
A Kansas woman, Milda Sandstrom born Jo M Jackson, seeks expungement of her 1977 first degree murder conviction for shooting her broadcast executive husband Thad Sandstrom as he slept. Released in 1992, she argues remorse and conformity to society justify erasing the record, while opponents cite strict rules on expungement for serious offenses. The Kansas Supreme Court case could set a precedent for similar post conviction relief.

Senator Morris bids funding to shore up EMS services
Kansas bill sponsor Sen Steve Morris proposes a plan to stabilize EMS finances by letting the EMS Board keep licensing fees and redirect a 1 percent fire insurance levy to EMS. He argues the move would improve care nationwide while not raising overall costs. Fire Marshal Dale Haag warns it would deprive funds from the Fire Marshal's office and jeopardize its program.
