Porkbusters target KU ISU NE project funding dispute
An associate scientist from the Kansas Biological Survey defends a $1.45 million Kansas University pollution study amid a bipartisan move to kill $1.5 billion in federal projects. The panel labels the effort pork, while supporters say non point source pollution requires federal attention and EPA action. Also noted is a $1.15 million plan to add tornado sirens for Kansas with emergency preparedness officials arguing need outweighs waste concerns.
