House Passes Bill On Coal Plants But Veto Looms
The latest legislative proposal allowing two coal-fired power plants in southwest Kansas has gone to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius.
Sebelius has rejected two previous bills allowing the plants and limiting the power of the regulator who's blocked their construction. She's expected to veto this bill as well. The House approved the bill Wednesday, 78-46. The Senate had approved it 24-10. Supporters tied the plants to economic development projects. They called their latest measure the "Economic Stimulus Act of 2008." But the measure appears to have little chance of becoming law. The vote in the House left supporters six votes short of the two-thirds majority needed to override a veto. |
