Futile Kansas turnpike study labeled futile exercise
A government study proposed three Kansas turnpikes costing 297 million over 40 years. One would run Kansas City to Galena, another Baxter Springs to Wichita, and the third Wichita to Hays.

Analysts warn bonds would require state revenue guarantees, conflicting with Docking’s likely tax stance. Missouri moves toward rival routes threaten Kansas prospects, making the study seem a futile exercise without policy shifts.
