Kan. House panel shortens, adopts climate measure
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas House committee has approved a resolution protesting President Barack Obama’s plan on climate change after stripping out language suggesting the science behind it is flawed.
The Energy and Environment Committee’s voice vote Tuesday sends the measure to the House for debate.
The nonbinding resolution says the plan released by the president last year would harm the economy and asks Congress to block it. Obama’s plan includes tougher pollution standards for power plants and higher vehicle fuel efficiency standards.
The resolution initially contained more than a page of language questioning the scientific consensus that human activity contributes to climate change. Environmentalists labeled it a denial resolution.
Overland Park Republican Craig McPherson pushed to shorten the measure and said the committee wanted to highlight the economic harm of Obama’s plan.

Kansas man sentenced for manufacturing meth
A Montgomery County man was sentenced Tuesday to 6 years in prison for manufacturing methamphetamine, Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said.
Ray Simmons, 46, Independence, was sentenced to 72 months in the Kansas Department of Corrections by Judge Gary House in Montgomery County District Court for manufacturing methamphetamine in October 2012. Simmons was found guilty of this crime in November 2013.
The charge stemmed from an investigation by the Independence Police Department. Assistant Attorney General Greg Benefiel of Schmidt’s office prosecuted the case.
Senator declares Kan. anti-gay marriage bill dead
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The chairman of the Kansas Senate Judiciary Committee says the panel won’t consider a House-passed bill to protect people who refuse for religious reasons to provide goods and services to gay couples.
Sen. Jeff King said Tuesday the legislation is dead.
The bill bars government sanctions or anti-discrimination lawsuits against individuals, groups and businesses that cite religious beliefs in refusing to provide goods, services, accommodations or employment benefits to gay couples.
Supporters said the bill would protect Kansans from being forced to participate in gay weddings if the federal courts struck down the state’s ban on same-sex unions. The House passed it last week.
Senate leaders said the bill couldn’t pass their chamber amid criticism that it was discriminatory.
King said his panel still will have hearings on religious liberty issues.
Kan. woman sentenced for toddler’s death
PITTSBURG, Kan. (AP) — A southeast Kansas woman has been sentenced to slightly more than five years in prison for the strangulation death of her toddler son in the straps of a safety seat.
29-year-old Cara M. Lloyd was sentenced Tuesday in Crawford County District Court. The judge gave her credit for 320 days she has already spent in Jail, reducing her 61-month sentence by nearly a year.
The Pittsburg woman’s son, Cory Jones Jr., was 13 months old when he was strangled by the straps of his child safety seat. The death occurred in October 2011 while Jones and her children were at a friend’s home in Frontenac.
Jones was initially charged with first-degree murder but pleaded guilty in October to voluntary manslaughter.
