Today's the Big Debate!

KDOT is marking the one-year anniversary of the Recovery Act this week. We've assembled a large amount of data pertaining to the Act's effects here in Kansas, and we're sharing that information with the media and public. Right now I'm tracking down a couple of Kansans who found their current jobs thanks to ARRA, and in coming days I'll be posting about that, and about the larger effects the Act has had on our transportation system.

Here's some happy news for passenger rail advocates in the Sunflower State. And here's some big news for those following the construction of the new Amelia Earhart Bridge in Atchison. And here's an example of forward thinking in public transportation.

This afternoon I'm accompanying Secretary Miller to Wichita, where she's participating in a debate aout transportation policy and funding with Dave Trabert, President of the Kansas Policy Institute. I'll be live-tweeting the debate at www.twitter.com/KDOTHQ. The debate begins at one p.m. Please follow along!
