Senate OKs three felonies for drive by shootings
The Senate approved by 39 to 0 a bill creating three new felonies for drive by shootings, sent to Gov. Finney after House passage 123 to 0. The move follows rising gang related shootings, with lawmakers mocking the abortion bill handling and weighing a compromise in the Senate. The Education Committee examined a breakfast bill for Kansas schools to feed hungry children, while Sen Ward sought more public accountability and a change to Senate roll call voting rules requiring consent of 21 of 40 senators.
