It is the latest development in a sticky political battle over the money. The list of funded projects includes a Combat Aviation Brigade Complex at $152 million; a division headquarters and sustainment brigade headquarters facility at $87 million; a barracks complex at $32 million; a health clinic at $17.5 million; runway improvements at $17 million; and a child development center at $5.2 million. That list came in a news release from Boyda, which also referenced a $15 million battle seminar facility at Fort Leavenworth.Kansas National Guard(Topeka Capital-Journal) Brigadier General makes Kansas military history: Deborah Rose made Kansas military history for the second time Tuesday when the state Senate confirmed her promotion to brigadier general in the Kansas National Guard.
