‘Truly Kansas’ plan will now go into effect to support the arts By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — Kansas has been told again by the National Endowment for the Arts that it’s not eligible for federal funds, prompting the state Arts Commission’s chairwoman to declare that the group will move forward with a “truly Kansas” plan for supporting arts programs with private money.

Look for the bridge between Barker and Haskell avenues to be closed in early April, removed soon thereafter and then replaced by September. And when it comes to fans heading into town for basketball Please see BRIDGE, page 2A
