Sunflower air quality permit approved by KDHE
KDHE grants Sunflower a coal fired 895 megawatt permit after years of debate dating to 2007. Public hearings drew hundreds of residents and thousands of comments while opponents warn of greenhouse gas and pollutant risks. The project includes 30 percent renewable energy requirements and could bring long term jobs and economic growth to western Kansas though officials warn on federal regulatory timelines.

ProKanDo founder’s group disbanded amid abortion bill push
The action committee started in 2002, spent over 1 million dollars in four years to back abortion rights and oppose anti-abortion candidates. Julie Burkhart, former director, says the untimely death of Dr. Tiller leaves a leadership gap. She notes expected anti-abortion bills in Kansas, aided by Governor Brownback’s stance and past vetoes by governors. Sebelius resigned to lead Health and Human Services.
