Solbach to serve on Ways and Means Local legislators placed on committees
By DIANE LUBER Staff Reporter
The Kansas Legislature began its 1983 session this week, and committee assignments made the first day gave the legislators an indication of the influence they might have, local legislators said yesterday.
State Rep. John Solbach, D-Dawrence, became the first legislator from Lawrence to serve on the House Ways and Means Committee since 1980. The committee handles all funding bills, including those affecting the University of Kansas.
He was reappointed to the House Judiciary Committee.
SOLBACH ALSO was appointed to the Agriculture and Livestock Committee.
Most of the work of the Legislature is done by committee. The four legislators from Lawrence have been chosen in 14 of the House and Senate committees.
State Rep. Jessie Branson, D- Lawrence, was appointed to the Public
Health and Welfare Committee and the Pensions, Investments and Benefits Committee. The latter will be deciding issues important to KU classified and unclassified employees, she said.
Branson also was appointed to the new Communication, Computers and Technology Committee, which she said would affect KU because of the large amount of computer technology used by the University.
STATE REP. Betty Jo Charlton,
D-Lawrence, said she hoped to be assigned to the energy subcommittee of the House Energy and Natural Resources Committee, one of the committees to which she was reappointed.
That subcommittee will consider bills that deal with utility issues, such as Lifeline rates and rates that would charge customers for utility plants that do not yet provide service, she said.
Charlton is a member of the Transportation Committee, and became ranking minority member of the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules and Regulations.
State Sen. Wint Winter Jr., R-Lawrence, was appointed to the Judiciary and the Local Government committees. He was appointed vicechairman of the Joint Committee on Special Claims.
Winter was appointed last month by Douglas County. Republicans to fill the seat vacated by former State Sen. Jane Eldredge. Winter also was appointed to the Education and the Federal and State committees.
In other preliminary business of the Legislature, House members elected State Rep. Mike Hayden, R-Atowood, to be house speaker; State Rep. Joe Hoagland, R-Overland Park, to be House majority leader; State Rep. Ben Foster, R-Witcha, to be speaker pro tem; and State Rep. Fred Weaver, D-Baxter Springs, to be minority leader.
BY A VOICE vote, the Senate approved State Sen. Ross Doyen, R-Concordia, as Senate president; State Sen. Charlie Angell, R-Plains, as vice president; State Sen. Robert Talkington, R-Iola, as majority leader;
and State Sen. Jack Steiniger, D.
Kansas City, as minority leader
The Senate wasted no time in passing two proposals by Gov. John Carlin that would provide money to operate the state through the end of this fiscal year.
The first bill would delay payments to local governments from the state's property tax relief fund, called the Local Ad Valorem Tax Reduction Fund. The second bill would delay payments to local governments to the City-County Revenue Sharing Fund. After passage, both bills were sent to the House.
THE HOUSE passed the first bill on Tuesday and sent it to Carlin. The second bill was sent to the House Ways and Means Committee for study.
Neither bill reduces the total amount of financing to local governments. But local governments will lose the interest they might have earned had the original schedule of payments been followed.
Carlin has said that the two bills must become law by Jan. 31 or he would be forced to make additional budget cuts.

THE EARLY enrollment figures, which were available in December, helped the bookstores spot potential shortages before the buying rush began and allowed the bookstores to buy 25 more used books from other sources.

Early enrollment figures, combined with faculty estimates, have made textbook ordering less of a guessing game. Word said.
Students may be digging deeper into their pocket this semester to buy textbooks, but more used books should be on the shelves now than ever before, Steve Word, manager of the Kansas Union bookstore, said recently.
Used book sales are now outselling new books at both the Kansas Union Bookstore and the Jayhawk Book Store, 1420 Crescent Rd.

WORD BLAMED the poor economy for the increase in used book sales and said students were selling their books back to the store in record numbers.
"I can't say I blame them," Muggs said. "I hate to pay the invoices for them."
Some students may still have trouble finding all the books they need, as book orders continue to pile up in the stores. Muggy reported receiving 27 new book orders last week and instructors should expect to wait two weeks before those orders can be filled.
