Well, maybe in a few more (a lot more) years when/if the government has more dollars to play with, we'll have another chance.

By then Texas will have done Texasthings and wormed their way into it being located there.

This.

Right now we have to all pray for a bio terrorist attack. Pray as hard as you can to whoever/whatever you can EMAWs.

Would be a good time to send anthrax the band through the Wareham for a show or something.

i think texas has already done texas things and that's why we aren't getting it. should've just let them win and i bet they wouldn't have gone after us like this. that bball game over the weekend was too little too late.

Yeah, this is way worse than any loss in sports.

This is pretty saddening. I mean, i can't exactly quite put my finger on what exactly is the most disappointing part of it, but man, it just doesn't sit right.

potential sd move to Manhattan, KS is looking a lot cheaper though

I mean JFC, do Brownback and Roberts really not have enough pull nationally to get a republican congress to not slash a budget for a national defense project in a red state? This is just maddening.

A guy on our site that works around the NBAF...

Actually, the "Soft on SECURITY"

Is already being heard. Had a conference call and it was brought up at least 6 times. As you point out it isn’t defense, but the DOD and DHS together is security. Cutting DOD budget + Cutting DHS budget = SOS (Soft On Security).

Chatter is out there that the House might go the other way and onetime fund the whole thing, at least in committee.

Well, the President doesn't want to fund something fairly large in a state he has no hope of ever winning.

Our only hope, God help us, is for the Republicans to make a play on this out of spite to help forward the, "Obama wants to slash defense and watch us all die," dialogue.

Based on what I read, Obama proposed $150 million for construction of the project. Congress slashed it to $50 million. Obama then came back and said that $50 million wasn't enough to do the project, so he took it all the way down to $10 million for swine flu research instead. That sounds like the republican congress squashing the project to me.

That's true. It just shows where our politicians stand within their own party, I guess.

At least we got the state government to upgrade a shitload of stuff for us

Hardly, the new grain mill and bio-fuels lab that had to be built because of the NBAF site has and will cost K-State and many private donors millions. While the new mill was long overdue, and the additional lab space for bio-fuel research are nice, the State didn't have to pay much if any of that bill.

What does it tell you about the State of Kansas when a school like Kansas State pretty much has to self fund a project like that?

First the Interstate and now this. Manhattan is due for a make up call immediately.
