Lake Scott Cabins boost Lake Scott Park visitor center
The project funded by park fee funds and a grant upgrades the Lake Scott State Park office and opens a heated cabin complex. The center attracts more visitors, with about 150,000 annually, and cabins provide year round lodging, including two bedroom options planned for 2012. Wildscape funds plus Kansas Wildlife and Parks support debt repayment and construction. Inmates built the cabins at Norton Correctional Facility, costing 50 to 60 thousand dollars each.

The measure would criminalize undocumented status for legal residents and aims to curb drugs, violence, and crime. The federal government seeks an injunction before July 29 arguing federal supremacy in immigration policy.
