Senate questions Docking's claim
Salary increases not covered in budget
TOPEKA (UPI) — Senate Republicans Thursday questioned the claim of Democratic Gov. Robert Docking that proposed salary increases for state employees can be paid from his budget balances.
Sen. Glee S. Smith Jr., R-Learned, Senate president pro tem, told newsmen after the caucus that implementation of the proposed $13.8 million salary increases would result in a general fund deficit for 10 months in fiscal year 1972.
He said the governor's projected general fund balances for each month over the next two years would not cover the salary increases expected to be recommended about April 1 by a Chicago consulting firm, Public Administration Service.
The State Finance Council Monday recommended appropriation of the $13.8 million during this session of the legislature, so the money will be available when the final recommendations are ready. The $13.8 million is the estimate of the amount of money that will be needed.
"The governor's figures don't support his statement that he'll have provisions for it," said Smith, referring to Docking's recommended budget.
The $26 million supplemental state school aid bill and the $4 million property tax relief bill for elderly Kansans may require the use of some of the budget balances, because tax reform measures expected to pass would finance only about two-thirds of the $30 million needed
Smith said the caucus discussed other revenue possibilities, including broadening of the sales tax to cover presently exempt consumable items and changing income tax exemptions.
The senator also said there was no strong feeling demonstrated at the caucus for delaying the salary increases.
The caucus discussed additional state aid to junior colleges, allowing them to raise tuition $5 per credit hour, and providing $1.8 million of state money. Bills that would do both are under consideration this session.
While Smith said the caucus
did not consider the conflict of interest bill which was referred to a Senate committee this week after failure to receive passage
in the Senate, he revealed the measure may be passed out of the Senate Judiciary Committee Friday in a compromise form.
House measure to prohibit public school teacher strikes
TOPEKA (UPI) — Teachers in Kansas public schools and junior colleges would be able to bargain collectively but prohibited from striking under a measure passed by the Kansas House of Representatives Thursday and sent to the Senate.
The House vote was 90-12.
Teachers would be represented in negotiations with public school or junior college district boards by professional employee's unions or groups. These unions would be required to meet with the board at least once every year prior to issuance of the annual teachers' contracts.
Missouri state senator not charged as bigamist
HILLSBORO, Mo. (UPI) State Sen. Earl R. Blackwell, D-Hillsboro, has not been charged with bigamy because his wife will not cooperate, G. William Weier, Jefferson County prosecutor, revealed Thursday.
The prosecutor said he asked the senator's first wife, Dorothy A. Blackwell, to sign an affidavit that she did not receive notification of a divorce from Blackwell. He said she has not returned the affidavit.
Blackwell married his second wife, the former Carolyn Sue Ravenscraft, in Las Vegas last summer. She was his secretary in his Jefferson City office.
There is no record of divorce in Missouri, and according to the state constitution, a legislator must forfeit his seat if he moves outside the state during his term of office. However, Attorney General John Danforth has said that he does not believe residency
established outside the state for the purpose of divorce can be interpreted as breaking the residency requirement for a legislator's seat.
Orchestra plays musical Namath
NEW YORK (UPI) - The New York Philharmonic announced Thursday that it has commissioned a new musical work for Joe Namath.
The announcement was verified by Andre Kostelanetz, conductor of the Philharmonic's spring promenade concerts, who said the idea of a musical work for Joe Namath came to him during the January 1969 Superbowl game.
