Sunflower Electric Cooperative creditors will receive more under a restructuring plan than bankruptcy would offer, officials say. The agreement would have creditors write down debts enabling Sunflower to achieve positive cash flow for over 30 years, with formal terms expected this week. The eight regional co-ops will not participate, and waivers delaying personal liability tied to federal debt were extended to finish paperwork.

Kansans back lottery and pari mutuel wagering vote
A Topeka Capital-Journal poll found 78 percent would vote for a state lottery and 69 percent for legalizing pari mutuel wagering on horse and dog racing if constitutional amendments were submitted. The survey of 500 statewide adults, with a 5 percent margin, showed broader support for gambling as a funding option than tax increases, and noted skepticism about timing for revenue to affect the upcoming fiscal year.
