Bennett Points To Oklahoma Decision
Kansas Governor Robert F Bennett said a federal judge ruling that Oklahoma must cut prison populations supports his push to ease Kansas overcrowding. He noted the ruling should prompt Kansas lawmakers to fund improvements, as Kansas faces crowded facilities at Lansing and Hutchinson and debates community based corrections versus a new Osawatomie prison. Bennett spoke after aging conference in Wichita and planned GOP fundraisers in Hays and other cities.
