Landowners face highway widening and road closure fallout
The county will vacate the access road between North IBP Road and the east side of a truck wash, cutting through traffic as the interstate expands. The Rapp family owns both sides of the stretch and will revert the land to farmland after access ends. KDOT plans shift as the detour is no longer available. The Novack family, among 25 to 30 affected landowners, recounts years of eminent domain, home and shop moved, and a June 1 deadline after an $11.27 million compensation payment.

Sunflower and Parkinson strike revised green energy deal
Legislation faced vetoes by then Governor Kathleen Sebelius now HHS secretary, but a new agreement restores green provisions. Utilities must meet 20 percent renewable output by 2020, offer consumer incentives for wind and solar, and Sunflower pledges cleaner tech for its coal plant and CO2 offset efforts. Parkinson gains power to limit EDHE secretary emissions authority, bypassing stricter state rules without legislative approval.
