Kansas lawmakers are looking at a secret, billion-dollar mega-project expected to bring thousands of jobs to the state. The economic development bill is aimed at a massive $4 billion business that could move to Kansas. The business is being kept secret for legal reasons, but it’s said to provide up to 4,000 jobs. However, some lawmakers say that it could also leave the state in a position where they’d have to pay the money back. Sen. Caryn Tyson, R-Parker, who sits on the Senate Commerce Committee, which is working on the bill, said she plans to introduce several amendments. The state of Kansas would be writing them a check. The proposal is moving through the Senate Commerce Committee, and lawmakers are expected to take action on it soon.
