JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A conservative group is targeting Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon with new ads in support of a ballot measure limiting the governor’s budget-balancing powers.

The Missouri Club for Growth says it began airing TV ads Monday in support of proposed Constitutional Amendment 10 on the November ballot.

A Nixon spokesman says the governor opposes the amendment because it could weaken safeguards against overspending.

The new ads accuse Nixon of “playing political games” with budget cuts.

The Club for Growth declined to reveal the funding source for the ads.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — A decision by the nation’s highest court is expected to clear the way for the expansion soon of same-sex marriages to Kansas.

The U.S. Supreme Court turned away appeals from five states seeking to prohibit gay and lesbian unions. The American Civil Liberties Union says that since the appeals from Oklahoma and Utah originated in the 10th Circuit, the decision in those cases will affect states in that circuit, including Kansas.

The ACLU of Kansas and Western Missouri says it plans to file a lawsuit soon asking a federal judge to block the Kansas law prohibiting gay marriage.

Thomas Witt, the executive director of Equality Kansas, says marriage equality is coming to Kansas, and that it may not be this morning, but perhaps another morning very soon.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Officials in Oklahoma have been talking about whether to institute “tornado days” in which classes would be called off when the threat of tornadoes is unusually high.

The Wichita Eagle reports their Kansas counterparts say they haven’t even considered such a move, which could create more problems than it solves.

Nine schoolchildren were killed in May 2013 when a tornado tore through Moore, Oklahoma. A researcher says prior to that, the last tornado death during a school day in Oklahoma came in 1930.

Schools in Mississippi and Alabama have tornado day policies in place, but it’s not likely the practice will spread to Kansas. Wichita school officials say part of the reason is that they’re reluctant to encourage parents to come get their children during tornado warnings.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has turned away appeals from five states seeking to prohibit same-sex marriages, paving the way for an immediate expansion of gay and lesbian unions.

The justices on Monday did not comment in rejecting appeals from Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia and Wisconsin.

The court’s order immediately ends delays on marriage in those states. Couples in six other states should be able to get married in short order.

That would make same-sex marriage legal in 30 states and the District of Columbia.

But the justices have left unresolved for now the question of same-sex marriage nationwide.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Police say two men have been arrested at Levi’s Stadium on suspicion of assaulting two other men in a bathroom before the San Francisco 49ers game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Santa Clara police Lt. Kurt Clarke says the assault took place Sunday in a bathroom on the 300 level of the stadium shortly before kickoff.

The San Jose Mercury News reports the victims, who weren’t identified, were transported to a hospital. Clarke didn’t have information about their conditions or the nature of their injuries.

Clarke says two suspects, whose names weren’t released, have been arrested on suspicion of felony assault.

In Southern California, police are looking for three men suspected of brutally beating a man in the Angels Stadium parking lot after the Angels’ playoff game Friday night.

DETROIT (AP) — Chrysler is recalling more than 31,000 full-size commercial vans to fix a problem with the headrests.

The recall covers 2014 Ram ProMaster vans. The company says the headrests can exceed the maximum allowable gap between a person’s head and the head restraint. The company says it doesn’t know of any crashes or injuries from the problem.

Dealers will replace the headrest for free. Owners will be notified next month about when they can bring the vans in for repairs.
