Amended School Finance Bill Moves Through Senate Panel
In Topeka the Senate Education Committee endorsed a heavily amended school finance bill, trimming the budget increases for 1987-88. Local districts could raise budgets by 1 percent if above the per pupil median or 2.5 percent if below, with a possible extra 1 percent by voter referendum. The House favored 2 percent or 3.5 percent, plus a 1 percent referendum option. Government figures noted districts face only about $5 million new state money, with overall aid constrained by a prior $60 million lapse.

Kansans consider $6 daily cut for legislators
The House Appropriations Committee endorsed reducing daily pay by $6 for the 90 day session, from $54 to $48, with no cut to living expenses or retirement benefits. The measure would save about $101,970 for the fiscal year and includes a 3.8 percent cut for legislative leaders. A separate bill would require lawyers to pay for copies of the Judicial Council annual report. The committee also debated delaying Kansas Public Employees Retirement System payments to December 1997 to gain interest, a move Hayden supported but was tabled pending further study.
