Urban oriented Kansas school aid plan clears Senate
The Kansas Senate passed the urban tailored school finance plan 21-18 after hours of debate. The measure allows districts to raise spending for 1987-88 with increases tied to relative per pupil funding, aided by $22 million in new state aid and a $28.8 million statewide property tax rise if fully implemented. An amendment shifted enrollment categories and the distribution of aid, but the plan moves back to the House for conference.

City Commission considers panel for DPS investigation
The City Commission debated whether to table the action or proceed with a five-member panel to examine DPS complaints. Citizens weighed in, some supporting outside help while others urged patience and avoiding a rush to judgment. The panel faces no deadline, while local ordinances updated the Uniform Plumbing Code and board structure. The National Guard may use Forest Park as headquarters in emergencies, and Dorothy Nichols was appointed to the Board of Zoning Appeals term through May 1988. The Ottawa Jaycees received park-use approval for the Easter Egg Hunt, slated for April 11 or 18 depending on weather.

GAO cites radioactive violations at DOE nuclear sites
GAO says several Energy Department nuclear facilities released radioactive and hazardous waste in breach of federal laws and some sites may be irreversibly contaminated. Keith Fultz told a Senate panel that two years of probing left the extent of pollution unknown and remediation costs will run into billions. Meanwhile the Dow topped 2300 for the first time as the stock market rose on gains and mixed data on growth.
