Journal of the Senate

THIRTY-THIRD DAY ______

Senate Chamber, Topeka, Kansas

Thursday, February 24, 2000--2:00 p.m.

The Senate was called to order by Vice-President Alicia L. Salisbury.

The roll was called with forty senators present.

Invocation by Chaplain Fred S. Hollomon:

Heavenly Father,

Violence continues to grab the headlines these days.

You must grieve as You watch Your human creatures kill each other.

Killers kill in the houses;

They kill in the cars.

They kill in the streets;

And they kill in the bars.

They kill in the schools;

They kill in the stores.

They even go to church

And kill some more.

Threats have not stopped them,

Nor legislation.

Jails have not stopped them,

Nor education.

The one sure solution,

Which only You can provide,

Is when killers invite You

To change them inside.

I pray Your solution will be tried very soon,

In Jesus' Name.

Amen

EXPLANATION OF VOTE Mr. President: As a dedicated public servant of the people of Kansas, I can not vote for
legislation that restricts a person's right to run for public office. SB 231 attacks the heart
of our values as a democracy, the value of a person's right to run for office and represent
their peers if elected.

I find it hard to believe that this body would approve legislation that would prohibit
employees of a school district from holding office on the school board. I can not think of a
better person to understand the needs of our education system than a person who lives and
breathes the lack of funding and problems of our educational system. Teachers and
employees of a school district should have as much of an opportunity to run for office than
any other citizen of the State.

For these reasons and many others, I vote no on SB 231--Paul Feleciano, Jr.

Senators Barone, Downey, Hensley, Lee and Steineger request the record to show they
concur with the ``Explanation of Vote'' offered by Senator Feleciano on SB 231.

Mr. President: Passage of SB 231 sends a signal that registered voters, and taxpayers who
have an interest to perform public service (long hours, no pay) for public schools will be
denied if they are in any way employed by their local school district. Voters in a local
community elect their public servants; barriers should not be set in Topeka. I vote no--
Lana Oleen

EXPLANATION OF VOTE Mr. President:

If a Farmer braids his horse's tail

Will he spend a night in jail?

If you braid your Granny's hair

Will Ms. Hubbell send up a flare?

If you braid a child's golden tress

Are we in dutch with SRS

If you braid a child's hair with ADD

Will the feds cut our aid from 8 to 3?

I will bring this poem to an end

So we can concentrate on tax and spend!

Boy, we've missed you, Fred--Les Donovan

EXPLANATION OF VOTE Mr. President: Yesterday I offered an amendment to SB 560 that would have
prohibited Internet access taxes, e-mail taxes and discriminatory taxation on Internet sales.

more efficient interstate sales tax collection, I believe that SB 560 will soon become the
vehicle for special and discriminatory taxes on the information superhighway--Tim

EXPLANATION OF VOTE Mr. President: I reluctantly vote yes on SB 501, not because of concern with the
original content of the bill. Amending HB 2527 into it bypasses the committee process by
merging a bill that was still under consideration and scheduled for a further hearing in the
Agriculture Committee. The two bills deal with totally different issues and deserve to be
considered individually on their own merits after due committee consideration and action--
