Hayden's Highway Plan Fails To Win Broad Support
AP analysis shows Gov. Mike Hayden toured 22 Kansas towns to drum up backing for a wide highway rebuilding program, but public concerns over cost and tax increases kept rank and file voters away. Lawmakers rejected or stalled the plan in a tense special session, with GOP leaders questioning Hayden's case and Democrats arguing the people defeated the program.

The Muscular Dystrophy Association fundraiser drew many locals to support the Gartman brothers and other needy youngsters. Pledges poured in from departments, fire crews, students, and university projects, with notable totals from bootblocks, a marathon bowl-a-thon, and a long all-night phone center led by Russ Testorff. The Gartman family especially inspired volunteers to push harder.

Allen Unbending To Governor's Will
Kansas state representative Jim Allen of Ottawa says Gov. Hayden’s highway program is dead, voiced after a special legislative session. He argues for repair and maintenance over new highways and notes no current crisis in highway funding, with maintenance funds lasting through July 1, 1989. Allen credits the session for increased highway knowledge but predicts a tough path ahead for any highway proposal.
