Lawmakers wear colors as KU faces Duke in Sweet 16
In Topeka legislators donned Jayhawk stickers yellow ribbons and patriotic ties while debating immigrant tuition, beef labeling, and budget issues as Kansas State and Wichita State color debates overlapped with sports. Rep. O Neal distributed stickers and Rep. Ballard ordered more supplies. Rep. Lee clashed with Susan Tully as the hearing on immigration reform drew attention. The House approved a federal crop insurance resolution 122-1 and moved a landlandscaping bill despite Wichita State concerns.
