Kansans to Vote on Parimutuel Wagering Debate

The Kansas Senate approved a constitutional amendment to let voters decide on legalizing pari mutuel betting on horse and dog racing. The measure, awaiting House action, would appear on the 1996 general election ballot if passed, with a 5 percent tax proposed to fund state revenues and create jobs.

Finance bill fails to satisfy Kansas educators over tax limits

In Topeka the Senate approved a school finance bill 28 to 10, sending it back to the House. It would grant $30 million in new state aid to 304 districts and permit budget increases of 4 percent for districts above the statewide per pupil median or 8 percent if below, enabling teacher raises about 7 to 7.5 percent. Carlin-backed 10–11 percent raises were not adopted, and supporters warned a veto by Carlin could occur. The measure preserves a potential $47.1 million local tax increase next year if districts use full budget authority, with amendments shifting enrollment tallies date and adding interest from capital outlay funds to base budgets.
