Topeka ? The Kansas official leading a department charged with repealing regulations plans to tour the state to gather ideas as he aims to cut regulations perceived as burdensome or unnecessary.

Secretary of Administration Dennis Taylor has scheduled stops in 10 communities over four days this week. Taylor doubles as leader of the Officer of the Repealer, which was established by Gov. Sam Brownback when he took office in January.

Taylor says he’ll continue the tour next week.

The first stops are Tuesday in Hays, Great Bend, Pratt and Hutchinson. Taylor plans visits Wednesday in Newton, McPherson, Salina and Concordia. He’ll be in Seneca and Leavenworth on Friday.
