Here are today’s headlines from the Kansas congressional delegation:Sen. Pat Roberts (R)!(Garden City Telegram) Farm Bill, war, No Child topics of tour: U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts, who’s been making his way across the state gaining public input and listening to concerns, found himself in Tribune Monday discussing issues from the 2007 Farm Bill to the war in Iraq. … Roberts said Monday that the listening tour gave him personal contact with the state’s residents and that there was no meeting during the tour in which a different concern and/or opinion didn’t come up. He told the group of about 20 gathered at the Greeley County Courthouse that the war in Iraq, health care, immigration and 2007 Farm Bill had been the issues consistently addressed during the tour but that the one-hour segments were open to anything. Roberts jokingly took a chair and placed it between him and the group, saying the meeting could be “like lions in a cage.” But no heated discussion was heard by the group.Rep. Dennis Moore (D)(LJWorld.com) Shawnee Republican announces challenge to Moore: State Sen. Nick Jordan, a Republican from Shawnee, has announced his bid to represent the 3rd congressional district, which includes west Lawrence and is currently represented by U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore, a Democrat from Lenexa. “This campaign will be a great conversation with people around the district about their priorities and their hopes for the future,” Jordan said. “Congress has been taking no action – or the wrong direction – on key issues such as economic growth, taxes, education, health care, homeland security, and immigration. It’s time for a fresh approach,” he said.Rep. Nancy Boyda (D) !(Manhattan Mercury) A look into growth-related needs: Second District Rep. Nancy Boyda told Riley County commissioners this morning she would ”do anything I can” to help the county find federal funds for two projects at the top of its wish list. Those two are the $150 million K-18 project between Manhattan and Ogden, and the extension of water services along K-177 south of the city. The county considers both projects vital to help cope with growth expected in this area due to the pending increase of troops at Fort Riley. Boyda herself ratcheted up interest in that topic this morning, telling commissioners that a bill approved recently by the House Armed Services Committee includes funding for an additional 92,000 troops across the Army, as well as $150 million in spending for Ft. Riley.
