Gratitude and congratulations go to the area members of the Kansas Senate for their unified, persuasive handling of the bill that would provide $5 million a year in state support for Wichita air service. The bill passed Thursday on a startling 35-2 vote and now goes to the House. Sen. Carolyn McGinn, R-Sedgwick, provided key leadership and expertise on the issue, drawing from her experience as a former Sedgwick County commissioner to help make the case that Wichita Mid-Continent Airport is Kansas’ airport and that the state has an economic interest in keeping its flights plentiful and its fares affordable. Now, it’s up to area House members to close the deal.
