TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - Lt. Gov. Mark Parkinson is promising that
the fight against two proposed coal-fired power plants will
continue even if legislators approve them.
Parkinson says an attempt to override a veto by Gov. Kathleen
Sebelius won't end the debate over the plants. Sebelius has vetoed
two bills to allow Sunflower Electric Power Corp. to build the
plants outside Holcomb in Finney County.
Sunflower's project has bipartisan legislative support and
backers are close to having the two-thirds majorities in both
houses that they need to override a veto. But Parkinson says the
administration is considering steps to block the plants even if the
Legislature overrides Sebelius. He wasn't more specific.
