Page 6 University Daily Kansan, March 23, 1983 Legislative Roundup Carlin budget criticized Kansas Senate President Ross Doyen yesterday said Gov. John Carlin's proposed budget was severely underfinanced and would not meet the needs of the state. The accusation came in a letter that Doyen sent to Carlin yesterday. He also sent the letter to the press. Doyen asked the governor to address a joint session of the Legislature to explain how he expected to spend his money to finance the 1984 budget. Mike Swenson, Carlin's news secretary, said Carlin had not received the letter as of yesterday. "Unless those secret meetings have also abolished the Senate, I believe the Senate Republicans are still part of the GOP and that the passage of legislation still requires the approval of at least 21 senators." Doyen said. Doyen also criticized the governor for announcing last week that he and Republican leaders had reached an agreement on a severance tax during closed-door meetings. The proposed budget would require $66 million in addition to severance tax revenues to cover all state expenditures. espondent said that Carlin had not tried to compromise during negotiations last week when the Legislature was working on a tax package for the state. Doyen said solutions could not be reached when Carlin was promising to veto any program except his own. Property tax suit A group of small business owners who are suing the state over the current property tax structure would be willing to drop the suit if a property reappraisal bill was passed, the group's attorney said yesterday. Richard Schofod, an attorney from Wichita who is representing the group, told the House Assessment and Taxation Committee that if the businessmen did not get a legislative answer, they would get a judicial answer. The committee is currently studying the reappraisal bill. studying the appraisal. The lawsuits asks the court to "roll back the reappraisals of personal property to 1964 levels, since that's what real property is appraised at," Schodorf said. Real estate in Kansas is appraised at its 1064 market value. Property is assessed by the state at 30 percent of this appraised value. Committee Chairman James Braden, R-Clay Center, said, "We've tried to pass reappraisal for five years and we were in 1979 except for the threat of a veto." Gev. John Carlin has again promised to veto the reappraisal bill unless an amendment to classify property was added to it. The classification amendment would allow different types of property to be assessed at different rates to avoid a shift in taxes to farmers and homeowners. In addition, citizens would require a vote of the public. public. Schodorf said he expected the suit to be tried this fall. Under a bill that the House tentatively approved yesterday, the Kansas State School for the Visually Handicapped would receive $1.66 million from the general fund, and the State School for the Deaf would get $3.35 million. House finance bill $4.35 billion The bill would allocate $250.6 million for the state library, schools for the deaf and visually handicapped and the department of education and public television. However, the House also withdrew $746 million of state aid to local school districts until a conference committee works out problems in the school finance bill. After the finance bill and the state funding package are finished, the House will decide how much money to give school districts. Final action on the bill is scheduled for today. The House Energy and Natural Resources Committee is scheduled to vote today on a bill that would regulate the transfer of large quantities of water across the state. Water transfer bill The bill, which has been passed by the Senate, would set up a hearing panel that would have to approve any transfers of 1,000 acre-feet or more of water a year over a distance of 10 miles or more. milieu applications that are approved by the hearing panel would go to the Kansas Water Authority first and then to the Legislature for final approval.
