Gov Mark Parkinson signed an executive order creating an interagency Wind Energy Promotion Group in Topeka. He cited growth from 300 to 1000 megawatts in four years and said new transmission lines will enable more wind projects to move power to other markets. The governor noted Kansas ranks highly in wind potential.
Westar Energy announced plans to build multiple transmission lines across Kansas over the next decade to improve wind power delivery. The projects, coordinated by the Southwest Power Pool and subject to Kansas Corporation Commission approval, include lines connecting Jefferson Energy Center to Satan Energy Center and other routes to Manhattan, Osage County, Emporia, Salina, Hays, Hutchinson, and Wichita areas. The state forms a wind energy working group to streamline planning and interagency coordination.
Incumbent Dennis McKinney argues for efficiency, job creation, and innovation. He cites the Kansas Housing Loan Deposit Program and Learning Quest while outlining goals for 2010. Republican Ron Estes emphasizes KPERS reform and financial literacy, urging a long term plan to fund retirement obligations.
Democratic congressional candidate Stephene Moore released a campaign ad criticizing Kevin Yoder for a 2009 plea to refuse a preliminary breath test after a February speeding stop on Kansas Highway 10. The ad likens Yoder to Mel Gibson and Lindsay Lohan, while Yoder’s campaign notes he passed a field sobriety test and that the speeding charge was dropped as part of the plea deal.
A G candidates highlight health care reform stance and focus on Medicaid fraud. Six cites a three year record of fraud recoveries and consumer protections while Schmidt stresses legislative and public leadership experience and interest in state involvement in federal health care actions. Libertarian Hawver also runs.
Hawver says he is running believing major parties caused many national problems and that Kansas should curb victimless crimes like drug offenses while targeting murder theft and fraud. He claims average citizens have little influence and pledges to free Kansans from costly ineffective government. Reporter George Diepenbrock can be reached at 832-7144.
