Legislators debate highway plan
- Continued from p. 1
Before the House voted, Minority Leader Marvin Barkis, D-Louisburg, said that legislators needed a lesson in economics and that it was time to make a tough decision.
"We must take a conservative position, not a risk position." Barkis said, a position that he was not comfortable taking.
He compared the situation to that of wartime, when a country must choose between guns or butter. Kansas could not have economic growth and large highway programs or other big-ticket items. One or the other would suffer, he said.
State Rep. Rex Crowell, R-Long-
and chairman of the House
Transportation committee,
said that Barkis was wrong.
"Roads and education are productive assets. They are the guns that make water possible," he said, noting that is out an investment in the future."
Crowell questioned whether Barkis had taken other economics courses in college. He said Barkis earned a "C" in his first course.
the department of transportation.
Crowell went on to say that the bill was not pork-barrel legislation because all improvement projects would be left up to the discretion of
"It bothers me severely when people from well-served areas of the state say that underserved people sink pork-barrel projects," he said.
"Underserved areas of the state can't wait eight to 10 years for another program." Crowell said.
State Rep. Rochelle Chronister, R-Nodesha, said that all other programs passed by the Legislature would mean nothing for economic growth without the highway program.
"People aren't going to care about any roads except the one out of the state," she said.
House refuses to link education, highways
by Alan Morgan Kansan staff writer
TOPEKA - The Kansas House yesterday sent back to the Taxation Committee a bill that would require financing for education and highways.
The action essentially kills the bill because the committee will not
be able to address it before the end of the legislative session. The bill would have increased the state tax from 4 percent to 4.5 percent.
State Rep. Jim Braden, R-Clay Center and House speaker, said that the bill did not have the needed support for passage. Braden said he had postponed action until now at the request of Economic Lifelines.
Economic Lifelines is a lobby group calling for a comprehensive highway program.
"Clearly, there is not support for tying highways to education," Braden said.

Strole said the second point of his defense was that by taking the women outside the bar, the police had placed them in custody and should have read their miranda prints before questioning them further.
He said that because the police did not do this, any statements made by Bernstein and any evidence collected from them taken outside should be suppressed.
tual situation was different.
"Whether you hand an officer an ID or whether you're taken outside to be questioned, the courts are going to have to view each case on the individual facts and make a decision." Knight said.
Knight again said that every fac-
"I've filed these motions to a large extent to get this type of case litigated so we can get some guidance from the appellate courts." he said
Strole he usually charged a flat fee in these cases of between $200 to $300 dollars.
"This particular case I'm doing at a cheaper rate because I was frankly outraged at the frisking that took place," Strole said.
He said his fee was roughly equivalent to what the student would have to pay by going through the diversion program, which charges a $7 fee, $89 in court costs and requires 10 hours of community service.
Strole said his office was also exploring the possibility of filing a class action civil suit enjoining the states of planned undercover operations.
Senate approves proposal to end overcrowding in prisons
- Continued from p. 1
The U.S. District Court in Topeka has said that Kansas was violating prison laws and therefore violating civil rights. Winter said.
Rogers has told the state that it must eliminate all prison overcrowding and improve services for mental ill inmates by July 1, 1989. If the state fails to comply with Rogers' order, a federal court has taken over by the federal government.
mittie on Monday had endorsed the $7.2 million proposal, which is similar to that proposed by Gov. Mike Rentner for Corrections Secretary Roger Fendel.
The Senate Ways and Means Com
Sen Jack Steiniger, D-Kansas City, questioned Winter about the details of the prison plan.
The Senate committee's proposal calls for issuing bonds throughout a 20-year period to pay for prison construction. The first year's payment on the bonds will be $7.4 million. The bill includes $3.2 million more in planning funds for the state Department of Corrections
"On what basis is the committee recommending that we build a new prison and not accept the House plan?" Steineger asked.
Before the debate began, Hayden told reporters at a news conference that he was heartened by the Senate committee's proposal.
