She said the proposal would allow people involved in KanWork to improve the health care system and the Kansas economy.
they would be able to become self-supporting and be given the opportunity to have dignity in the work place. "Finney said to about 100
people at a Kansas Health Care Association luncheon.
She said that under the proposal, KanWork employees would be paid an hourly wage while under the supervision and supervision of the association.
Finney said Kanwork employees would gain a skill they could use to stay off welfare.
It is a small program that can be used to raise the societal level for a group that needs help, she said.
Dick Hammel, executive vice president of the association, said he supported Finney's work or proposals in adult health care home:
Public Disclosure Commission asks for budget increase of 42.7 percent
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — The agency that enforces state ethics laws asked for a 42.7 percent increase in its budget yesterday, saying that it needs the additional money to do its job properly.
The state Public Disclosure Commission approved the budget proposal unanimously after members concluded the agency needed more staff and money because the Legislature enforced ethical laws in 1989 and 1990.
The agency's budget for the fiscal year that began July 1 is it $252,549, and it has a staff of 6. The commission's proposal calls for a budget of $309,436 in the following budget year, with a staff of nine people.
"It appears like we're being pretty
liberal in this thing, but we're not," said Chairperson Lowell Abeldt of Abilene.
The commission's proposal goes next to the State Budget Division and Gov Mike Hayden. Hayden will present his budget proposals to the 1991 Legislature when it convenes in January.
The commission's staff actually presented three budget proposals, two of them at the direction of the Budget Division. Those proposals provided for no increase in spending and a 2 percent increase in spending.
Carol Williams, the commission's executive director, said the agency would have to cut its annual meetings from 10 to four under the first two proposals. It also would have to severely reduce the amount of information it supplies to candidates and other public officials about the state's ethics laws, she said.
The third budget proposal, the one calling for the large increase in spending, is the agency's "wish list." Williams said it would allow the commission to continue its existing activities, expand informational services and deal with changes in ethics laws.
Those changes included strengthening laws governing campaigns for county and some city offices. That means the commission now regulates more candidates than it did three years ago.
Supporters of stronger ethics laws have complained that the commission's budget and staff are unable to fully enforce existing laws.
Hayden, Finney agree to third joint television appearance
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Gov. Mike Hayden and his Democratic challenger in the Nov. 6 general election have agreed to a third joint television appearance.
Both campaigns confirmed yesterday that the two candidates for the governorship will appear Nov. 1 on KWCH-TV in Wichita, in addition to appearances Oct. 20 on WDAF-TV in Kansas City and Nov. 4 on WIBW-TV in Topeka.
Hayden also will make two appearances on KPSTV's, the public television station in Manhattan.
there. Hayden will face an empty chair on both Oct. 5 and Nov. 5 on KPTS.
Finney had agreed to appear for an hour-long debate on KWCH, but Hayden made his appearance contingent upon Finney doing a joint appearance Oct. 10 in Lawrence, sponsored by the Kansas Association of Broadcasters and to be telecast and broadcast state-
When Finney formally turned down the Lawrence appearance Monday, Hayden retracted his demand and the Wichita appearance was reinstated.
The two major party candidates have had
one joint appearance so far. That was Sept. 8. The team shot to a championship. The dabat was broadcast statewide.
The three television appearances now scheduled are all Finney will participate in, including:
"That's it," Parry said. "She said she'd take four of them, and she took the first four to
Finney has taken the position that the public gets bored by too many so-called debates, while Hayden has urged more joint appearances and accused her of being afraid to discuss her positions on issues in public course with large audiences.
Finney has expressed a dislike for hour-long appearances, but Barry said that the KWCH format was not a problem because he agreed to it and would abide by that agreement.
"We're pleased we've agreed on the Wichita appearance," Frank Ybarra, Hayden's campaign press secretary, said. "And we're especially pleased that it is an hour long, because we feel that provides a good opportunity to air the issues."
campaign was not happy that Finney would not make more joint appearances.
"We still think that's an indication that she doesn't want voters, on a widespread basis, to know where she stands on the issues."
Ybarra said that the Hayden campaign was encouraging the originating stations to feed their telecasts of the debates to sister network affiliates.
Ybarra said, however, that the Hayden
"She still hasn't met our request for forums in each of the five congressional districts," she said.
