County rethinks road upkeep amid budget strain in Finney County
Finney County commissioners priorities shift to maintenance over new construction for the next five years. They revisit the KDOT five year plan, targeting overlays on Holcomb Lane Ingalls and Harlich roads while Six Mile Road would gain asphalt. A 11 mile Holcomb Lane overlay would cost about 1.2 million with the county paying 20 percent. They also consider Jones Avenue reconstruction and delay Jones Avenue funding, while approving a 155000 IBM AS400 replacement and soliciting bids for a new ambulance on a GMC 4500 chassis.

Governor Kathleen Sebelius calls Kline’s nonbinding opinion supportive, noting state lawyers had already deemed participation legal. The program links Kansas shoppers to Canada Ireland and the U K through a Canada based clearinghouse with potential 50 percent drug savings on about 100 prescriptions.
