We haven't heard much out of Kansas recently....
It was something of a relief to find a story from a local Kansas
newspaper today indicating some Southwest Chief support from the cities it
passes through. Garden City Manager Matt Allen and Dodge City Attorney Ken
Strobel weren't shy about voicing their support; as for Governor Sam
Brownback (R), his support for the Southwest Chief remains unconfirmed.
According to an article in
the Santa Fe New Mexican, Brownback was known for heavy criticism toward Amtrak
when he was a U.S. Senator. As of now, we know Garden City Mayor Dan
Frankhauser and U.S. Representative for the district John Doll (R) are doing
what they can to save the Chief.
