Currently, union members can agree to deductions from their paychecks that are used for political purposes.</p><p>The bill &nbsp;brought up heated debate in the House Commerce Committee. Opponents of the bill say it takes away an option for public employees to make political contributions.</p><p>Annie&nbsp;Tietze is a Topeka Democrat.</p> Fri, 25 Jan 2013 15:07:01 +0000 Stephen Koranda 30927 at http://kcur.org Union Paycheck Deduction Bill Headed to Full House
