delaying project By JOHN DAUNER Mt Writer Wyandotte County District Attorney Nick Tomasic on Tuesday asked the Kansas Supreme Court to quickly decide the legal issues delaying development of the Kansas International Speedway The issues focusing on moving and relocation payments and the issuance and financing of bonds for the speedway were raised in a lawsuit filed by the owners of seven parcels in the project area Two parties are attempting to intervene in that case which is before District Judge Philip Sieve In his petition Tomasic told the Supreme Court that waiting for the litigation to work its way through the lower courts would jeopardize the project which he called economically important to the whole state The track operation is expected to put $1178 million into the economy each year raise state tax revenues $53 million annually and create 2455 jobs The district attorney and the Kansas attorney general are the only persons who can take a case directly to the Supreme Court For the purposes of taking the litigation to the Supreme Court Tomasic who strongly favors the speedway stands in the shoes of the plaintiffs who are challenging the legality of the Unified approach In a joint scheduling motion Tomasic and the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City Kan the defendant in the case have told the court they will be ready to have the case heard and decided by Oct 19 This is the second time this year Tomasic has asked the high court to take a case relating to development of the speedway and quickly resolve the legal issues He filed a petition April 23 asking the Supreme Court to decide the constitutionality of legislation under which the speedway is being developed The Supreme Court upheld the laws on July 10 KANSAS Tuesday and

Nixon's letter to Bond said was an inappropriate attack on me my husband and our family The tactic of targeting this flier directly to my neighborhood and to my mother is simple harassment David

Jefferson City and parts of St Louis Springfield and Columbia It also was included in a news release sent statewide He said campaign is airing six TV ads that criticize Bond a Republican point of the piece is while he is bragging about being a Boy Scout he is conducting his campaign in a manner not consistent with the Boy Scout Israelite said He also said Bond had not complained despite repeated
