Citizens shouldn't pay rent for press, bill says
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Taxpayers should not subsidize profits of news organizations by paying their rent. Statehouse, Sen. Ben E. Vickerson R-Salina, told the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee yesterday
Vidricksen is the sponsor of a bill that would require all profit-making groups occupying space in the Capitol, including news organizations, to pay rent for that space. Lobbyists, who have a room on the third floor of the Statehouse, also would be affected.
But non-profit news organizations, such as public radio stations, would
not be affected. No one spoke against the bill.
"I don't think it's a function of the taxpayers to have free rent for the press, which is there to make a profit," Vidrickens told the committee.
News organizations occupy 1,863 square feet of space at the Capitol building, according to figures released at the hearing. Vidkirsen said the state gives away about $20,000 in free rent to about 15 news media organizations.
Vidricksen noted that many state agencies must rent space outside the Statehouse while the news organizations don't.
