EHV-1 Outbreak Leads Kansas Horse Euthanasia
A northeast Kansas horse was euthanized after confirming a wild type non-neurotropic EHV-1 infection. Kansas officials released test results from the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory in April and Equine Diagnostics Services in Kentucky. The horse had attended a Lincoln Nebraska barrel racing event April 10 to 13 where another horse was positive. Owners are urged to monitor temperatures, enforce biosecurity, and exercise caution at events.

Inaccurate school funding figures plague GOP in Kansas lawsuit
Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt used incorrect Department of Education figures in Shawnee County Court filings to dismiss the equity portion of a public school funding suit. The April 6 estimate showed 48 million for classroom aid, later revised to about 36 million plus 25 million for capital projects and 85 million for property tax relief. Brownback aides blame poor communication. Davis accuses the tactic of misleading Kansas voters.
