Transportation Secretary Michael Johnston warned that Kansas will not gain a windfall from the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act. He said Kansas must provide about 155.4 million to complete eight demonstration projects and could end with 154 million uncommitted over six years, with pressure to redirect funds to non highway programs.

Lawsuit Seeks Record Damages From Berdella's Estate
Betty Ann Haste, mother of Todd Stoops, was awarded what attorneys say may be the largest wrongful death verdict in Missouri. The $5 billion judgment against Robert Berdella's estate is unlikely to be paid given the estate's modest assets, with about $8,000 in the bank and $55,000 in a trust. The defense declined comment as questions remain whether the award can be altered by the judge.
