Tax vote to dominate Legislature's last days
By BRAD STERTZ Staff Reporter
The mineral production severance tax is expected to dominate the final days of the 26th Kansas Legislature as the state dominated the statehouse all session.
Besides the severance tax, however, there will be debate on about half a dozen other major items. Primary among those are the school finance bill, which would reduce the proportions bills and a bill reducing the juvenile age from 18 years to 16 years.
Yet, the spotlight will definitely rest on the severance tax that was killed earlier by the Senate Assessment and Taxation Committee.
Usually, when a bill is voted out of committee unfavorably, as was the severance tax bill, the result is the bill on the house or Senate floor.
HOWEVER, because of the importance that Gov. John Carlin has placed on the passage of the severance tax to increase state revenue, a renewed effort will begin today to resurrect the tax.
The legislative efforts will come after a two-week statewide stumping tour by Carlin to drum up support for the tax among Kansas residents.
With that support, Carlin said after his stop in Lawrence last week, the legislators voting against the tax would gain a great risk for their political careers.
Yesterday, Senate Minority Leader Jack Steinger, D-Kansas City, said that he was set to force a vote on the severance tax on the Senate floor today.
"I am all ready to ask for a vote on the tax," Steiner said yesterday from Topeka. "Right now, I think that there be enough votes to get the issue out."
STEINEGER ADDED, however, that he feared if a vote to revise the bill was passed, it would be immediately dismissed by Senate President R. O. Doyen.
Steineger said that Doyen, R-Concordia, could quickly refer the bill to a committee that would not have the
If that committee got the bill, Steiner歌 it, probably would mean the end of the issue this session because Ways and Means Committee and Days a member of the Ways and Means Committee, are both against the severance tax.
time to consider the legislation. One committee mentioned was the Senate Ways and Means Committee.
Another plan working against the severance tax is an alternative by the Republican legislators to avoid a vote on the tax. The plan also would avoid a property tax and compensate for the revenue lost with the severance tax.
Two closely linked bills that would greatly affect KU classified and unclassified employees are bills that would change the appearance of the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System.
The other bill, whose future depends on the final draft of the first KPERS bill, would reduce employee compensation by four percent to two percent. Hess has said that the Senate Ways and Means Committee would not start work on that bill until it could see the results of the committee's Means work on the other KPERS bill.
One bill would eliminate an inequity in the KPERS benefit returns by allowing state employees who started before the KPERS was established to receive the benefits from the KPERS program. A hearing on that bill is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. today before the House Ways and Means Committee.
A STRONG EFFORT in the Judicial Committee yesterday to lower the juvenile age from 18 years to 16 years, in the hopes of lowering crime among teen-ageers, also highlighted the three-day veto session.
The Omnibus Appropriations bill that includes the 22 percent state school tuition increase will also be decided on by the Legislature during the veto
Other items expected to draw attention are the wheat parity bill, the governmental ethics committee bill and a bill that would define how foster children can be punished by State-appointed guardians.
The four-month selection process for assistant resident directors and resident assistants for KU residence halls has ended, Ruth Mikkelson, associate residential programs director, said yesterday.
About 200 people applied for the 12 ARD and 64 RA positions, she said. The applicants went through a series of four interviews.
Residence hall staff selected
The assistant director directors are: John Young and Chris Kabeler in Ellsworth; Diane Berquist and Lisa Labeur in GSP-Corbin; Paul Nance in Hashinger; Marv Mickelson in Joseph H. Lawrence; David Chase and Joy DeBacker in McCollum; Jon Long and Firoueh Nourzad in Oliver; and Darrel Sik in Templin.
Except for Young, Kaberline, Berufst and Laborde, the ARDs are all returning staff members.
"We had approximately the same number of applicants this year, but Mr. Hickson had 'ARD' positions." Mikechon said. "I don't know why, but I wish I did."
The new staff members attended an orientation meeting last Saturday. The Office of Residential Programs plans to have a picnic for old and new staff members from 1 to 6 p.m. Saturday in Centennial Park.
Hall staff members will work from Aug. 1 to May 31. The new ARDs receive a $3,200 salary and the returning directors receive a $3,400 salary. ARDs also get an apartment and meals free of charge, and are eligible for University staff tuition rates.
The new RAS receive a 790 stipend and the returning resident assistant receive a $750 stipend. The returnees receive a room and meals free of charge.
