Drug suspect pleads guilty
By a Kansan reporter
A former Lawrence real estate developer, who was indicted along with 20 others on cocaine-related charges in Lawrence in July, pleaded guilty Friday in Douglas County District Court to aiding and abetting the delivery of cocaine.
Dennis Barritt, 40, 2908 W. 23rd St., was indicted in Douglas County District Court on one count of possessing cocaine, one count of delivering cocaine and one count of aiding and abetting the delivery of cocaine.
Barritt appeared in the courtroom of Mike Malone. Douglas County district judge, who asked why he was pleading guilty.
Basically, I introduced one person to another for the purpose of buying cocaine," Barritt said.
According to court records, the incident for which Barritt pleaded guilty took place on May 14, 1985.
Malone accepted Barritt's plea and set Dec. 18 as his sentencing
In return for the guilty plea, Jim Flory, Douglas County district attorney, said the state would drop the other charges against Barritt.
Legislature to debate betting
Lottery and pari-mutuel amendments face struggle
By KAREN SAMELSON
Staff writer
Kansas lawmakers foresee a hard struggle before the Legislature passes a bill to enact pari-mutuel wagering, although an interim legislative committee voted last week to make only a few changes in a tusk force's recommendations.
"There's still a lot of give and take," House Majority Leader Jim Braden, R-Clay Center, said yesterday. "Obviously we will implement these constitutional amendments before we go home."
Besides pari-mutuelle wagering, Kansas voters on Nov. 4 approved constitutional amendments allowing liquor by the drink in public places and a state-run lottery. The 1987 Legislature must pass bills to put these amendments into practice.
The interim Federal and State Affairs Committee spent three days last week discussing proposals for pari-mutuel and lottery bills. In December, the committee will make a final recommendation on the lottery and will consider proposals for liquor laws.
The amendments will go on the agenda as soon as the 1987 session begins, Braden said.
He said he would like to see the bills passed within the first six or seven weeks of the session but they probably would take much longer.
However, State Sen. Jack Steineger, D-Kansas City and a member of the committee, said the state's budget woes could induce the Legislature to speed the lottery bill through in the first two weeks of February because of the revenue it could generate.
State Rep. Betty Jo Charlton, D-Lawrence, said the bills wouldn't survive without some changes, but the Legislature possibly would make only minor changes.
Charlton said she didn't think legislators would have as difficult a time agreeing on the enactment bills as they had getting the two-thirds majority needed to put the amendments on the ballot.
Charlton and Braden said one of the biggest issues would concern the tax rate that the state should impose on bets, a question the interim committee raised last week.
Steinger said some legislators had wanted to make the tax on horse and dog racing equal. The committee eventually accepted a task force's recommendation that wagers on dog
racing be taxed at 5 percent and wagers on horse racing at 3 percent because of the higher overhead costs.
The biggest change the committee made was to increase a non-profit group's license to run a track from 10 miles to 25 miles because of the investment costs involved.
law makers also discussed the size of the racing commission, which some thought should be expanded from five to seven members.
"By and large I think it will get through in substantially the same form it's in now." Steinger said.
Charlton and Braden said the lottery proposal also would lead to some debates, such as how much the state should take.
"There are all kinds of things we have to wrestle with before it becomes law," Braden said.
Steineger said the interim committee basically agreed with the Department of Revenue's lottery recommendation.
He said the biggest question was whether the lottery director should be responsible to the governor or to the lottery commission.
