Journal of the Senate
SECOND DAY
______
| Senate Chamber, Topeka, Kansas |
| Tuesday, January 11, 2000--10:00 a.m. |
The Senate was called to order by President Dick Bond.
The roll was called with forty senators present.
Invocation by Chaplain Fred S. Hollomon:
Heavenly Father,
Last night we heard the Governor
Report the state of the state.
He wants our belts to tighten
Before it gets too late.
As far as governors are concerned,
I've prayed for four of them.
Two from each of the parties
At times when things looked grim.
I believe that all of them
Tried to do what's right.
I'm sure at times they agonized
Late into the night.
We prayed for Governor Graves, O God,
Help him seek Your will.
May he use both head and heart
His promise to fulfill.
Help him to remember, Lord,
As he loads them ``high and tight'',
That You are still the only One
Who REALLY knows whats right.
Like all of us, he'll make mistakes,
No doubt he'll reach his quota.
But I'm sure he won't embarrass us
Like the one in Minnesota!!
I pray this in the Name of Jesus,
AMEN

EXPLANATION OF VOTE
Mr. President: I vote yes for SB 403. This bill contains budget reductions where those
can be reasonably taken. It also provides some important increases in social programs where
caseload has grown faster than expected.
Budget reductions are never easy, but if they must be done, they must be done early in
the Legislative Session. Schools, universities and state agencies deserve to know as soon as
possible what their current year budget will be. They cannot react well if we drag out our
deliberations for the entire session.
Those of us responsible for developing the FY2001 budget also need to know what the
FY2000 budget is in order to craft the best, most effective budget for next year. If we are
unwilling to settle the current year issue quickly, we will have little choice but to make
drastic reductions in FY2001.
Fortunately, the Republican senators appear ready to act responsibly and quickly to pro-
tect school children, the frail and elderly, the disabled and the Kansas taxpayers.--Dave
Kerr
Senators Harrington and Jordan request the record to show they concur with the Expla-
nation of Vote offered by Senator Kerr on SB 403.
Mr. President: I vote no on SB 403. I support and voted for the elimination of the
Presidential Primary and keeping our promise to fund the $50 increase in the base aide for
K-12 education.
I cannot support cuts of $1.75 million in funding for mental health services for kids and
the homeless. Last session, we promised to help the most vulnerable Kansans, including
those Kansans afflicted with mental illness. This spending cut blatantly breaks that promise.
Kansans have a right to be safe in their homes and neighborhoods. By eliminating almost
$1 million from public safety programs, we are threatening the safety of Kansas citizens.
The Community Corrections grants and SRS Sexual Predator Program are important pro-
grams and I cannot support these cuts.
School districts from around the state have told us that they are having a hard time
providing special education. Last session, we pledged to help them fund special education.
This bill breaks that pledge with a $2.3 million cut in funding.
We need, as the Governor said, Patience to let the process work, to engage in full debate,
to calmly think our way through difficult moments. We did not use patience or allow our
constituents to be part of these debates. This is wrong and I must vote no.--Janis K. Lee
Senators Barone, Biggs, Feleciano, Goodwin, Hensley, Jones, Petty and Stephens request
the record show they concur with the Explanation of Vote offered by Senator Lee on SB
403.
