Barbara Ballard, D-Lawrence, said that although the latest estimated revenues for the next two fiscal years seemed "rosy" — a $50 million surplus for 1994 and $135 million for 1995 — the state had to remain careful with its spending. Thank you to all our Jaytalk advertisers! Reforming the current state health care system, renewing interest in gun control, and revitalizing the job market in economically strapped areas of the state are the most important issues the Kansas Legislature will face in in the upcoming session, state legislators said yesterday. Legislature to confront tough issues By Brian James Kansan staff writer "We still don't have money to throw around." Ballard said. One factor that could affect future revenues, legislators said, was a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court last July that said states could not levy taxes on military pensions. As a result, the state of Kansas must pay back $100 million to those military retirees whose pensions were taxed State Sen. Sandy Praeger, R-Lawrence, said health care reform would remain one of her top priorities during the next session. Praeger heads the Senate's Public Health and Welfare Committee. "What we have is a definite problem," she said. "Health care spending, if it continues at the rate we've been spending, will go far beyond our budget." Praeger and Ballard said they would like to see stricter laws that would make purchasing firearms more difficult. Praeger and Ballard said they would endorse a law that would make it illegal for a minor to possess a firearm, similar to one recently passed in Colorado. State Rep. Betty Jo Charlton, D-Lawrence, said one of the most important legislative issues for the University was the Kansas Board of Regents budget proposals. The Regents recently proposed a 3-percent increase in the overall budget from last year, Ballard said. Charlton agreed. "As tuition increases each year, we are always looking for additional funds from the state, especially for student aid programs," Praeger said. The representatives said that because this year was an election year in the Legislature, more "hot" issues would be discussed. "State universities are supposed to be state supported, to some degree," Charlton said. "I think we should look carefully, skeptically, at any tuition increases and examine what funding is available and make changes." The legislators said they had no problems with the increases. "I think we'll see issues like gay rights, abortion, and even the death penalty being addressed this year," Ballard said. "I anticipate a very active session." CALENDAR One increase the representatives said they did not support was a hike in tuition.
