People Over Potholes urged by Kansas lawmaker
Kansas lawmaker Rep. Jim Lowther urges a House committee to back a bill ending transfers from the general fund to the highway fund. The measure, returning after a 42 72 floor defeat, could save about 11.6 million this year and 19.7 million in 1988, with total gains estimated near 190 to 209 million over seven years. Lowther argues reallocating funds and a potential 1 cent per gallon gas tax rise could finance highways while reducing highway transfers.

House Panel Okays Annexation Measure
The Kansas House Local Government Committee endorsed a compromise bill restricting city annexations to 21 acres of agricultural land without owner or county consent and creating deannexation procedures if promised services fail. It retains 55 acre limits for mapped development and adds requirements for hearings and service plans. The measure passed 9 to 6 after a lengthy hearing despite opposition from the League.
