‘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.

And when it comes to fans heading into town for basketball Please see BRIDGE, page 2A
