Ulysses ethanol plant push targets site and permits
Community leaders, state agencies, and industry groups convene in Ulysses as NABR and NABA outline plans for a new ethanol plant. KDHE reviews the air permit, with two thirds completed, while project officials seek financing and expect 14 months of construction post approval. The plant aims to hire 90 to 100 workers at wages around 45 to 50 thousand dollars, producing 70 percent ethanol and distiller's grain as a key byproduct.

Kansas AG Phill Kline attempted to rush monthly state aid figures to sidestep a pending Supreme Court suit from 1999. Governor Sebelius urged the Legislature to pass a responsible funding plan to keep schools open.
