I doubt if too many people close to the Wild West World bankruptcy were surprised today when the parent of Bank of Blue Valley became the first Kansas lender to collect bailout cash.
The Overland Park-based bank was one of the first financial institutions to jump into the bankruptcy, as a lender for the failed theme park’s rides.
With a $21.75 million taxpayer transfusion, it would appear that the bank’s had issues beyond a theme park with no real business plan.
