Sebelius vetoes third coal plant bill in Kansas
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius vetoed the third bill to allow two coal fired plants near Holcomb in Finney County and curb the regulator’s power. She criticized tying energy projects to other measures and rejected both the main bill and a companion that would push CO2 limits and other provisions. Sunflower Electric argues the project boosts economic development, with support from lawmakers and business groups despite legal challenges and opposition from environmentalists.
