Kansas Turnpike tolls face tourism scrutiny
Tourism officials question extra charges for leaving the Kansas Turnpike to eat or visit attractions. The surcharge, often under 50 cents for cars and higher for trucks, prompts debate on whether tolls should reward stops. Officials argue costs of processing exits justify the fee, while travelers and tourism leaders push for better incentives to pull off and spend locally.

Farmers blame government trade policy in court battle
Four farmers from New Mexico Colorado and Kansas seek state and county help in a suit against the federal government filed in January 2000. They argue agrarian controls and price supports fail to protect farmers and press for halting foreclosures while antitrust actions against large agribusiness firms are sought. The plaintiffs urge state AGs to join and press for relief as courts say it is a federal executive issue.
