Tour stop

U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., addresses a crowd of about 20 people Tuesday at Fort Scott Community College during a stop on his tour of Southeast Kansas. Brownback talked briefly about local issues such as the Danny and Willa Ellis Family Fine Arts Center that is being constructed on the FSCC campus, and also about national issues such as the Airbus tanker contract situation and the state of the national economy. Brownback recently launched a tour of all 105 Kansas counties. Tribune Photo/ Jason E. Silvers
