Liquor Controversy Drives Kansas Capitol Week 1969
In the eighth week of Kansas 1969 session the Senate passed two constitutional liquor questions by the bare 27 votes. One would allow a vote on prohibition and the other on liquor by the drink. Floor debate stressed the people’s right to vote. Senator Norman E. Gaar urged trust the people, while Senator W. E. Woodard Jr. hoped the issue ends. The House moved an accelerated highway construction plan supported by Republicans, targeting a gas tax increase and 30 million dollars annual bonds for ten years, with Governor Docking likely to veto. Other actions include a bill redefining vocational technical education, a Health and Welfare department consolidation proposal, a constitutional amendment for four-year terms for legislators, and a plan adding two reservoirs Indian Creek and Wolf-Coffee Creek to the state water plan in Johnson County.
