Federal drainage fees threaten funds for Haskell and federal sites
Lawmakers and city officials weigh the impact of charging federal properties like Haskell Indian Nations and post offices for drainage services. Haskell currently receives about 2.3 million dollars annually, a share that could shrink as fees press lawmakers to assess who pays. Topeka notes federal accounts contribute up to nearly two thousand dollars monthly. losing these payments would slow ongoing drainage projects and maintenance amid slippery legal questions.
