Watkins to retire as Sunflower chief amid coal plant clash
Sunflower cooperative plans to name a successor after Earl Watkins announced in August his retirement from the CEO post held since 2004. The move comes as state regulators blocked two new Holcomb coal plants while Sunflower pushes wind and other renewables. Watkins is praised for pushing renewable energy amid opposition from opponents and critics. He cited family time and travel as reasons for stepping down, with the board listing the opening on PowerJobsDirect.com and an April 29 application deadline.

Vinson health suit ruling cites constitutional overreach
Judge Vinson voided major health care provisions arguing Congress overstepped authority by mandating insurance for nearly all Americans. He struck down senior drug discounts and a 26 adult child coverage rule, aligning with prior challenges to the 2010 law while shaping a broader court stance on the mandate's validity.
