A short read but see how the GOP will have it their way. Saddly a few Dem's joined them.

Gov. Kathleen Sebelius says she will respond to a new plan for allowing two coal-fired power plants in southwest Kansas.
The Democratic governor has scheduled a news conference for 9 a.m. Wednesday. That is just an hour before legislators reconvene after their annual spring break.
The Republican leaders who drafted the plan said they wanted an answer before the session resumed.
Otherwise, they said, they would attempt to override a Sebelius veto of a bill allowing the two plants.
The latest plan still would permit Sunflower Electric Power Corp. to build the two plants in Finney County. But the plants would be 14 percent smaller than the utility had proposed.
Sebelius has proposed allowing Sunflower to build one plant.

To me I see the power of the GOP and a few from the DNC
giving no break in what they want. No reason or thoughts about us who will have to breath the emissions. And again
with the Immigration bill. Party Power in our face. Th egovernor is right on both counts. But the powers will then change the laws and get what they want anyway.
