Kansas owes 8.5 million over El Dorado Reservoir park
Kansas faces a delinquent debt to the U S Army Corps of Engineers for construction of an El Dorado Reservoir state park near Wichita. Auditors found repeated payment plan requests ignored from 1988 to 1992, and current budget proposals failed to address the balance. The Corps may hand the debt to the Justice Department for collection.
