FAA officials said no flights were in danger. The GAO notes prior outages and safety concerns across the center and KC International, with fixes including upgraded equipment, power system reconfiguration, alarms, and new radar maintenance procedures.

Graves urges reduction of Kansas severance tax
Gov. Bill Graves told the Kansas Independent Oil and Gas Assn convention that cutting the mineral severance tax is a top priority. He cited hearings by the legislature coordinating council and urged lawmakers to keep the tax high on the next session’s agenda, noting oil and gas producers have long sought relief. The tax, enacted after 1982, raises about $62.6 million total with gas at $48.1 million and oil at $14.5 million for FY 1998.
