Airport fuel costs pin down Lawrence traffic decline
Airport official warns fuel price cuts into profits as traffic drops. Estimates show total operations fell from 34 000 in 2009 to under 32 000 in 2010, with KU chartered flights and university use also decreasing. Local tax revenue and regional impact hinge on aviation activity.

Kansas Arts veto sparks national debate on government role
Gov. Sam Brownback vetoed Kansas Arts Commission funding, making the state the first to shut the agency and shift toward private funding. He argued budgets should focus on core items, while critics call it a major outlier. Brownback envisions private support sustaining the arts. The move cuts $689,000 from a $13.8 billion budget for the year starting July 1.
