Missouri Dept. of Natural Resources director resigns (http://www.kansascity.com/115/story/928616.html)

Some background:

DNR & MO Gov give away rights to bridge & endanger Katy Trail (http://www.joplinindependent.com/display_article.php/mariwinn1116183079), details here (http://mobikefed.org/2005_05_01_newsarchive.php)

(a bit OT) more DNR shenanigans (http://www.kmidkiff.com/columns/2008-03-07.html)

edit: Added "Some background" heading to indicate these are older articles. Hope nobody got themselves confused and, somehow, sent a large sum to Nigeria :D

I assure you that this is no scam. I live in Kansas City, and this has been an ongoing controversy. However, we will have a new govenor in January who I hope will be more bike friendly.
