GOP proposes bonds and taxes to shore up Sebelius road plan
GOP leaders in Topeka outline a transportation financing plan to preserve promised highway projects from the 13.5 billion 10 year program begun in 1999. They rely on 150 million in bonds 395 million in sales tax revenue and 300 million in federal funds over six years. Sebelius counters with a plan hinging on 465 million in bonds and 264 million in sales tax revenue with no assumed federal outcome.

Transportation showdown in Kansas between Sebelius and GOP on funding
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and Republican leaders clash over Kansas transportation financing. Sebelius vows to work with GOP to secure federal money amid projected 238 million shortfall for 2010, while Republicans aim to preserve highway maintenance funding into 2011 and restore a sales tax set-aside with differing growth paths. Deb Miller warns of 150 million in projects canceled this year and 100 million annually through 2008 if no action.
