Manhattan has low unemployment, a growing population, and steady business growth. NBAF is becoming a reality for Manhattan, it puts us on the radar screen. Interest is up for business development in this region.

The new airport terminal that was built when I was Mayor is now seeing daily flights to Dallas, Ft. Worth and beginning Nov. 18 to Chicago. The state supported this expanded air travel with a financial guarantee that allowed for this new development. Sydney Carlin carried the bill.

I helped to write 4 bills that became part of Kansas Military Bill of Rights. The result was that we survived the last BRAC process

The impact of the Military in Kansas is now – $7.7 billion/a year GSP in contracts (supplies and tangible products) and another $5.8 billion/a year from the 169,500 direct and indirect jobs.
