the State of Kansas did not apply for nor did it receive the grant. The Flint Hills Regional Council did.

They need to give the money back. We all know that Brownback wants the Flint Hills to be pristine. development would require electrical transmission lines. We cannot have anything dealing with electricity expanding there. It would be bad for tourism.
