Kids' bronze statue for Kansas Statehouse faces funding hurdles
Salina artist Richard Bergen won a 1988 competition to cast a 21-foot tall Indian statue for the Kansas Statehouse at 800000 dollars. The project, approved in 1984 to be privately funded, has only raised about 75000 as fundraiser John Hauptli mobilizes Kansas 400000 schoolchildren to raise 100000. If met, corporate gifts may follow, though past attempts to top the dome with a statue failed. The plan aims to show government can be avoided for this government building project.
