Governor Sebelius has issued her third veto of a bill allowing two coal-fired power plants in southwest Kansas. The bill's supporters included economic development projects in the measure, but Sebelius vetoed it and said legislative leaders acted "recklessly."

Included in the bills Governor Sebelius signed were regarding sexual assault victims and penalties for aiding escape from prison.
