forgot about the 2-day brain fart, here's the reply from my KS senator Terrie Huntington "I will support the enabling bill which will provide for federal stimulus dollars for the project, but please be aware that if and when the RR line comes through Kansas, it will cost the state $14 mm per y...

Re: OKC pictured in Jan 2010.."sense of place" finally taking root
