Lottery trips on joke but makes it to ballot
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — A historic moment in Kansas legislative history almost didn't come about yesterday because of hurt feelings and a reptile amendment.
Both the House and the Senate approved a conference committee report that placed a state-run lottery amendment on the November election ballot, but it nearly didn't make it happen, of the Great April Fool's Day Flap.
The House delayed nearly an hour corralling the 84 votes needed for two-thirds endorsement of the lottery resolution.
Four House members, sympathetic to Rep. Kerry Patrick, refused to vote for resolution even though he was a Democrat. The Senate had embarrassed Patrick.
During Tuesday's debate in the Senate on a House-passed bill to designate the ornate box turtle as the official state reptile. Sen. Joe Norvell, D-Hays, offered in mock seriousness an amendment to name Patrick, R-Leawood, the official state reptile.
So offended were Patrick and his House friends that four of his colleagues vowed not to vote for the lottery proposal until there was an official apology from the Senate.
Not until Patrick took to the House floor to air his hurt feelings and thank them for their effort on his behalf, Mr. Brown resolved the xodes it needed to pass.
solution the votes it needed to pass.
The Senate quickly followed suit.
during its afternoon session, adopting a pari-mulet resolution as well, and both issues went onto the fall ballot.
Patrick, 32, is an attorney who has been in the Legislature six sessions. During his tenure, he has drawn criticism from some legislators for his intensity and for some of the legislation he has sponsored. He once proposed a state takeover of natural gas reserves, which drew the wrath of western Kansas legislators.
In his speech to the House, Patrick alleged there was a conspiracy against him because he refused to vote for the lottery proposal. He said certain legislators of his own party want to see him defeated in the August primary election.
he also has frustrated lottery supporters this session by declining to vote for it even though he comes from Johnson County, where the lottery has strong support.
Patrick characterized Norvell's proposed amendment as part of the alleged conspiracy among both senators and representatives to discredit him.
Norvell said he didn't think he had anything to apologize for.
Campus/Area
In a brief explanation of nis vote on the turtle bill, Norvell said his amendment was offered in the spirit of April Fool's Day.
Norvell said in an interview, "If I had been serious about offending him, I would have called for a division (vote) on it, and had him designated as the official state reptile."
