Book Description
Because the person who was certified as being elected mayor of the City of St. John was not a registered voter at the time of the city election, such person was not a qualified elector of the city at the time of such election. Accordingly, such person did not meet the qualifications prescribed for the election to such office by K.S.A. 15-209, which requires that a candidate for election to the office of mayor of a third class city having a mayor-council form of government must be a qualified elector of the city at the time of the election. Thus, such persons' election is void. Even though ineligible to hold such office, such person has served in the capacity of mayor as a d̲e̲ f̲a̲c̲t̲o̲ officer, and in that capacity, such person's acts are valid and effectual where they concern the public or the rights of third persons, to the same extent as if such person were an officer d̲e̲ j̲u̲r̲e̲. Cited herein: K.S.A. 15-209.

Book Description
Through the imposition of fines for unlawful conduct, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 8-1901(d) imposes criminal liability. In addition, subsection (a) of that statute does not appear to violate the United States Constitution's Equal Protection Clause, although it only imposes liability upon a limited class of persons. Moreover, that subsection appears to convey a sufficiently definite warning as to the conduct proscribed therein, so as to avoid being unconstitutionally vague and uncertain. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 8-1901, 8-1909, K.S.A. 8-2116, 8-2204, 21-3105, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 21-4503, U.S. Const., Amend. XIV.

Book Description
Unlike Kansas cities and counties which exercise constitutional or statutory "home rule" powers, school districts are creatures of statute and, as such, enjoy only those powers expressly conferred, by law, together with those implied powers which are necessary for the effective exercise and discharge of the powers and duties expressly conferred. No statutory authority exists, either expressly conferred or necessarily implied, authorizing the expenditure of school districts funds to contribute to a lobbying effort on a proposed state-wide severance tax. Cited herein: K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 19-101a, K.S.A. 19-101c, 72-1612, 72-1623, 72-5326, 72-8205, Kan. Const., Art. 12, section 5.

Book Description
If enacted, the proposal under consideration by the Senate Committee on Ways and Means that would statutorily require a legislative committee to approve certain leases of real property by state agencies would constitute a significant interference with the operations of the executive department in an area that is essentially executive in character, thereby violating the separation of powers doctrine. However, the legislature may exert control over the lease of office space by state agencies through appropriations, and the conditions, limitations and qualifications imposed on them, and through the enactment of substantive laws prescribing such restrictions on state agencies' powers in this regard as the legislature deems necessary and appropriate. Cited herein: K.S.A. 75-3025, K.S.A. 1980 Supp. 75-3739, 75-3765, 75-3766, 75-5411.
