Bremby era KDHE chief resigns amid Sunflower permit clash
KDHE memo notes Bremby departure and names John Mitchell as acting secretary. In 2007 he denied Sunflower Electric a permit citing climate concerns. Gov Sebelius vetoes blocked overrides as Parkinson later brokered a deal to revive the project with renewable energy assurances. A draft permit for the Holcomb unit has been issued.
