GOP leaders in Topeka propose to back the state's transportation plan with bonds, sales tax revenue, and federal funds to avoid canceling promised highway projects from the 13.5 billion, 10 year plan begun in 1999. Governor Sebelius cites a bonds and sales tax method, while Republicans favor lower bonds and higher tax revenue plus expected federal money. Senate President Kerr says federal funds are crucial. Sebelius argues the GOP plan assumes too much federal aid.
