West Kansas confronts drought crime and growth in 2002
Finney County debates investigator review after a shooting of Encarnacion Nevarez Sr by Quint and a coroner inquest rejected. Home Depot favorable sales tax rebates move Garden City toward a January 2003 opening, with 104 new jobs and a $2 million payroll. West Nile virus hits wildlife across Kansas, affecting a golden eagle and Colonel Bill the horse, spurring vaccination pleas amid a lagging economy and school bond delays. The city plans a new ninth grade center alternative, Big Pool management shifts to the Garden City Recreation Commission, and water projects move forward with Wheatland’s reverse osmosis plant and Sunflower’s coal plant plans.
