Sebelius opposes Sunflower coal plants amid expansion flap
Sebelius clashes with Sunflower supporters over coal plant expansion in Kansas. In August interview with The Wichita Eagle she questioned merchant plants and health risks to Kansans and told the Lawrence Journal World she supports KU School of Medicine and St Luke's Missouri rotations while opposing massive coal plants as unsafe for citizens. Sunflower spokesman Steve Miller calls the remarks troubling and defends Sunflower's cooperation with KDHE on concerns.

Sunflower scraps Scoular site for integrated bioenergy center
Finney County officials and Sunflower press ahead with an integrated bioenergy center despite Scoular pulling out. The project partners say they will seek alternative sites in Finney County or southwest Kansas while GreenFuel Technologies tests algae for emissions reductions at Holcomb. The expansion would add up to 260 local jobs and over 2,400 statewide during construction, with a goal of a cleaner, efficient power plant near Holcomb.

City aims to build bigger humane shelter. costs cut
The Finney County Commission weighs a 5,500 square foot animal shelter, trimmed from about 1 million to 500 thousand dollars with possible parking costs. A new site near city or county land is advised due to size and proximity to the fairgrounds. Debates on chipping rules tie to shelter funding, with county funding uncertain. A larger facility could offer revenue, such as a shelter store, per local officials.
