TOPEKA — The centerpiecebusiness tax cut in Gov. SamBrownback’s plan to reform in-come taxes would enrich dozensof other states at Kansas’ ex-pense, The Eagle has learned.

For out-of-state taxpayers whoearn certain types of businessincome in Kansas, the state tax

cut would shift revenue thatKansas now receives to the gov-

ernment coffers of the taxpayers’home states.

The out-of-state taxpayerswouldn’t pay less, but the taxrevenue would go to fundschools, roads and social servicesin their home states instead of inKansas.

The reason the money wouldgo to other state governmentsand not back to the out-of-statetaxpayers is that income is taxedfirst in the state where it is gen-

erated. To avoid double taxation, al-

most all states that levy an in-come tax give their taxpayers acredit for income taxes paid inanother state.

If the taxpayer doesn’t have topay anything in the state wherethe income is made, there is nocredit to claim and all the moneygoes to the taxpayer’s home

It’s been more than 20 yearssince a massive tornadodecimated about one-thirdof Andover, killing 13 peo-

But folks in the Butler Coun-ty town haven’t forgottenabout the tornado – or thefact that another one couldstrike.

If that happens, Andover willbe better prepared, thanks to

an increasing number of resi-dential basements and twonew public storm shelters.

“Just about every home

After winning the Republican pri-mary for Sedgwick County districtattorney Tuesday night, Marc Bennettsaid he understands that the office isdue for change after 24 years of NolaFoulston.

“But it’s change while still keepingprofessional consistency in the office,too,” he said at his watch party at theRiver City Brewery in Old Town. “It’snot throwing everything out andstarting over.”

Bennett, a deputy DA, won with 54percent of the vote to former deputyDA Kevin O’Connor’s 45 percent in acampaign that grew contentious attimes.

Voters picked a new district at-torney for the first time since Foul-ston won the first of her of six termsin 1988. Bennett’s victory makes himthe next DA because a Democratdidn’t run for the office.

Bennett’s supporters filled the bre-wery’s second-floor room with cheersas TV screens reflected numbers inhis favor.

Although he maintained a double-digit lead for much of the night, Ben-nett declined to declare victory untilO’Connor called him shortly before11:30 p.m. and conceded.

“It’s gratifying and humbling,”Bennett said. “I congratulate Kevin onrunning a good campaign. He’s agood prosecutor. He’s an old friend.”

After calling Bennett, O’Connorsaid he was proud of his campaignand supporters.

“We gave the community a racewith two quality candidates, O’Con-nor said. “We fought a good fight.”

TOPEKA — Backed by a waterfallof dollars from political action com-mittees and other outside groups,conservative Republican senatecandidates won all but a few keyraces over Republicans who werelabeled more moderate duringbruising campaigns.

The victories will likely pave theway for Gov. Sam Brownback’sagenda for at least the next twoyears, although general electionchallenges by Democrats couldchange that.

“If this was a referendum on SamBrownback, Brownback won,” saidKansas State University politicalscientist Joe Aistrup. “Right now,the Republican Party in the state ofKansas is willing to be a little red-der and a little more conservative.”

Watching results come in fromacross the state, Sen. CarolynMcGinn of Sedgwick wondered ifshe might be the only survivingmoderate in the Senate:

Someday in the future scientistsmight save millions of lives bysolving the riddle of metastasis.

It is the mysterious processwhere cancer cells begin migratingfrom the tumor of origin andspread the disease.

If that riddle is solved it won’t be

because of one scientist. All scien-tists, as Moriah Beck says, build onthe knowledge of those who pre-cede them.

But any scientist who solves itwill likely remember what Beckdid, in the years leading up to2012, while working in a laborato-ry at Wichita State University.

Cancer kills more than half amillion people in the U.S. annually,

according to estimates by theAmerican Cancer Society; roughly1,500 a day, about 5,400 Kansansper year.

Solving metastasis would earnthe gratitude of millions of survi-vors and their loved ones.

Newtown, Conn. — The gunman in theConnecticut shooting blasted his wayinto the elementary school and thensprayed the children with bullets, firstfrom a distance and then at close range,

officials said Saturday as they provided grimnew details of the massacre.

The state’s chief medical examiner, H. WayneCarver II, said all of the 20 children and sixadults killed at the Sandy Hook ElementarySchool in Newtown, Conn., had been struckmore than once in thefusillade, some as ma-ny as 11 times.

“This is a very devas-tating set of injuries,”he said at a mediabriefing.

“I’ve been at this for athird of a century andmy sensibilities maynot be the averageman’s, but this is prob-ably the worst I haveseen or the worst that Iknow of any of mycolleagues havingseen.”

The disclosures came as the police releasedthe victims’ names. They ranged in age from 6to 56.

The children — 12 girls and eight boys — wereall first-graders, 6 or 7 years old. One little girlhad just turned 7 on Tuesday. All of the adultswere women.

NEWTOWN, Conn. — Inside the four-bedroom colonial set on a small rise, NancyLanza was already dead. But it was earlyyet, and it would be hours before her bodywas found – time enough for her son tounleash a slaughter.

For now, though, all seemed idyllic in this300-year-old town under crystalline skies.

Adam Lanza, 20, fascinated by computersand recalled by former classmates as pain-fully awkward, left the house in his moth-er’s car and drove past fine old churchesand towering trees. It was the holiday sea-son, and lawns were decorated with lightsand electric reindeer. It was just five milesfrom home to Sandy Hook Elementary,where hallways and classrooms rang withtalk of Hanukkah and Christmas.

Inside the music room, a group of fourth-graders were watching the movie “TheNutcracker.”

Theodore Varga and some other teacherswere meeting. Their students, the oldestkids in the school, were in specialty classeslike gym and music. The glow remainedfrom the previous night’s fourth-grade con-cert.

“It was a lovely day,” Varga said. “Every-body was joyful and cheerful. We wereending the week on a high note.”

The school appeared secure, its entrancemonitored by closed-circuit camera and
