Brownback has only one thing left to fall back on now; Freedom's Frontier National Heritage Area.

The Freedom's Frontier National Heritage Area. It is the brain child of Republican Kansas U.S. Senator Sam Brownback his one time room mate former Missouri U.S. Senator "Chicken Jim" Talent.

The two Senators worked in unison to secure funding ($10,000,000 over 15 years) that would turn most of Eastern Kansas and 12 Western Missouri counties into a National Heritage Area and under the authority of the National Park Service.

A shaky plan to land $10,000,000 in Federal tax dollars over the next 15 years by creating a national heritage area in Eastern Kansas and Western Missouri, that some say threaten private property rights is all Brownback has left to help deliver Kansas to McCain in the November, 2008 presidential election, and according to one anonymous source who contacted me, Brownback is fuming mad about the lack of progress that is being made on the Freedom's Frontier National Heritage Area.

The anonymous source writes:

"One of my “deep cover” sources from Lawrence was at a meeting recently where Sen. Brownback was present.  According to my source the Lawrence Downtown Redevelopment/ Visitor’s and Convention program/Destination Management/Freedom’s Frontier scheme was mentioned.  It was reported that Brownback was fuming about the lack of progress on the projects. My source said some of the people in attendance “…just didn’t want to talk about it” to Brownback or anyone else."

Who could blame them? I'm guessing they would have rather had the 4000 well paying jobs and not had their property rights threatened by a $10,000,000 tourism scheme.
