The other bills…

Martin HawverWhile we’re waiting for Gov. Sam Brownback to decide just what he wants to do with property tax authority for school districts, there are some less fractious bills being introduced by Kansas legislators as they near the deadline for bills that they thought up themselves.

We have until Feb. 11 for those individually sponsored bills to be introduced, and they are starting to trickle in. Like the measure that someone should have thought of years ago, or some that probably…well, you wonder what was going on when they were thought of at all, let alone introduced into the Legislature.

Take a pretty bright idea, thought up by Republican Rep. Travis Couture-Lovelady, of Palco, whose district is mostly two-lane highways.
