Criticism of Legislature May Have Been Hasty
TOPEKA Kan AP The 1977 Kansas Legislature faced sharp attacks for supposed wild spending but closed with an $850 million general fund budget, slightly below Bennett's recommendation. It enacted major tax reforms raising the personal exemption to 750 and removing the 3 percent sales tax from prescription drugs, a step supporters say signals more changes ahead.

Bennett To Sort It Out After Kansas Session Ends
Gov. Robert F. Bennett will meet staff to discuss the ended 1977 legislative session. Reporters will hear his view Tuesday on accomplishments and failures. Lawmakers sent a $1.808 billion FY1978 budget with $850 million from the general fund and other funds from federal sources. Bennett had vetoed the income tax measure expanding exemptions and brackets, but lawmakers moved to a bill he desires to freeze the standard deduction to align with federal forms.
