KANSAS CITY, MO –
KCUR Evening Headlines (1 min 49 sec)

  • The Missouri House finally passed a bill to allow Kansans who work in the state to deduct their property taxes from their Missouri income tax - but after many returns were already filed.
  • The Kansas Supreme Court considered an attempt to limit the powers of a grand jury investing abortion provider George Tiller.
  • But the main focus of the day was on sports. Today's home opener gives the Kansas City Royals a chance to show-off Kauffman Stadium's ongoing renovations. And the KU Jayhawks returned to Lawrence, newly crowned as 2008 NCAA champions.

Defunded, but not defeated.
Congress just eliminated federal funding for KCUR, but public radio is for the people.
