Kerry Patrick, R-Leawood, who was holding out for a revision that would allow deduction of federal income taxes from state returns. The bill that went to Hayden and favored heavily by the governor returns $35.4 million of an expected $145 million income tax windfall to individual taxpayers through changes in the state's tax code. The bill also removes about revision, and adjourned. The House adjourned first, at 12:37 p.m. and the Senate followed at 12:42 p.m.

Ceremonial sine die, or final, adjournment will be June 3. The Senate gave retiring Sen. Merrill Werts, R-Junction City, the honor of making the motion to adjourn that chamber. Debate on several non-controversial bills the Legislature wanted passed before adjourning took longer than expected in the House, pushing the final banging of the gavels in the two houses into the afternoon. The House took until nearly noon to pass the bills, then sent them to the Senate which also passed them.

Adjournment ended the longest wrap-up session in Kansas legislative history: Today was the seventh day of the wrap-up. It took the 1987 Legislature, six days to complete the wrap-up sesson. The action came after approval of a tax revisionbill that followed a messy and bitter session lasting almost three Rep. Patrick during filibuster. 'Late night with Kerry not a hit Bill Colvin Senior Editor TOPEKA House Majority Leader Joe Knopp conceded today that state Rep.

Kerry Patrick's hours-long filibuster on the House floor put a severe strain on the Purple and White "old school ties" that have knotted their friendship since their days together at Kansas State University "There are some things that I thought, perhaps, that I would just as soon not be quoted on," said the Manhattan Republican about Patrick's fruitless tactics in trying Monday night and early today to block passage of an income tax revision bill that Gov. Mike Hayden (and the legislative leadership) favored. Knopp suggested that he had to dip deeper than just the ordinary legislative courtesy in deciding against possible attempts to cut off Patrick's filibuster. "We were," he pointed out, "room-mates at one time (at the Delta Upsilon) fraternity house, iff igfi jf10 I V. I Mercury Dews Service TOPEKA The Kansas Legislature, unable to adjourn Monday night because of its first filibuster in modern times, finally concluded the 1988 session this afternoon.

After a contentious night and early morning in the House of Representatives, the Legislature calmly completed action today on the tax revision package. It then passed a handful of other bills left hanging Monday night because of the fight over tax and there are other strong ties between us and our families that have meant a lot mutually over the years." Although they have remained close friends since university days particularly since both were elected to the Legislature (both in 1980) Knopp and Patrick have not always seen eye-to-eye philosophically on government and politics. Knopp, a moderate with conservative fiscal tendencies, describes his friend as "very conservative" and also "strongly representative of his Johnson County (Leawood) constituency." The majority leader suggests that Patrick at times has difficulty in reconciling the desires of his district with above-average income level with those of the whole state of Kansas. Observers other than Knopp commenting on Patrick's filibuster were inclined to attribute it to possibly trying to build up backing for himself in case he tries to win the Senate See No. 4, back page update for two neighborhoods located generally south and west of KSU.

The area at issue is bounded by Laramie on the north, Fairchild on the south, 17th Street on the west and 16th Street on the east. At an April 19 meeting commissioners gave preliminary approval to zoning changes in five of the six areas within the two neighborhoods. The commission is expected to give final approval of those changes at their meeting tonight.

The Senate approved it, 22-17, earlier Monday. The vote on the tax bill followed more than seven hours of debate and parliamentary manuevering. Patrick, a holder of two degrees from K-State, staged a one-man, nearly three-hour filibuster in an attempt to block the bill's passage. The filibuster attempt left many lawmakers angry. Patrick said he started it because the House had not fully debated the See No.

"It's probably the most drugs I've seen at one time," said Cpt. Larry Woodyard, head of the Riley County Police Department's investigations division. In an effort that also involved Drug Enforcement Agency agents, officers of the RCPD and Pottawatomie County Sheriff's Office arrested the three men between Sunday night and early Monday. The suspects were identified as Jesse M.

Moorehead, 33, of 3137 Bermuda Lane, Gregory Albertson, 48, of West Hollywood, and Henry R. Abram, 31, of Los Angeles. U.S. Magistrate G.T. Van Bebber ordered them held without bond until a 1:30 p.m.

And Abram was arrested when he arrived by taxi from KCI airport in Kansas City about 2 40 Monday morning.
