year term.
Schumann said the redevelopment of the downtown business district was his highest priority.
THEERE WERE 224 votes separating Schumm and Landreth, the largest margin between any of the candidates. Landreth said he thought he lost votes because of his
refusal to take a stand concerning the shopping mall.
"My gut feeling is that this is a vote against the mail," he said. "I'm sure that hurt me in the neighborhoods downtown."

INA MAHONEY, Overland Park park who forState Wheel Rep. William R-Topek, is doing a computer of another aspect of politics—
"We'll see if senators and representatives who represent the same areas vote the same," she said. "If they don't, we'll see if their vote was influenced by lobbyists."
"It's really weird the way lobbyies work," she said. "They'll go into a legislator's office and ask him if he supports liquor by the drink, for instance. If he says yes, they write him a check for $50 and leave.
"Some people could end up supporting it. Even though they're from conservative districts."
Mahoney said names of lobbying groups sometimes were misleading to voters.
"For example," she said, "'The Committee for Responsible Government' represents the Kansas Wine and Spirits Wholesalers Association.
"A lot of people vote the way the lobbyists want," she said.
Mahoney said she thought most legislators were hardworking and concerned.
Draz and Scott Richardson, a Wichita senior working for State Rep. Mike Meacham, R-Wichita, also said they were impressed with state legislators.
"All representatives do things to help their constituents and not just to get reelection."
