Fuel prices curb business at Garden City FBOs
Garden City Regional Airport sees slower traffic at two fixed base operators Flower Aviation and Central Plains Aviation due to higher fuel costs. Central Plains reports a 15 percent drop in fuel sales after a February ownership change to FBO Air. Commercial passenger numbers rise, aided by a late year marketing campaign targeting 10,000 annual passengers for continued FAA funding.

Colorado eyes oil and gas taxes to cover Kansas debt
Colorado Senate debates tapping about 35 million dollars from the severance tax fund to pay a Kansas water debt built from a 1984 Arkansas River dispute. The fund supports regulation and local projects, but 3.8 million would cover the disputed damages if paid by May 31, while other programs would still be funded.
