Carlin Signs Bill To Ease Appeals Court Load
Gov John Carlin signed a law expanding the Kansas Court of Appeals from seven to ten judges by July 1987 to relieve a growing backlog. The move adds a third panel, part of a long effort rejected by Democrats who accused Republicans of delaying expansion for political gain. The legislation also funds capital outlay for community colleges and state agencies, with notable items including prison improvements at Ellsworth and a new state airplane, amid line item vetoes by Carlin.

Wolf Creek retrains radiation monitors after FEMA deficiency
Federal officials say Anderson County volunteers trained to monitor radiation at Wolf Creek faced a deficiency after a November drill. The volunteers were retrained within 60 days, and the plant's license remains secure. The exercise also highlighted broader planning and training gaps across Coffey and surrounding counties.
