Frank Benteman
A bill to rename a stretch of highway in Marshall County after thirty-seven men from the town of Frankfort killed in World War II has taken a step forward in the legislative process.
The Kansas House Transportation Committee approved the bill Tuesday after hearing testimony in support of the legislation that seeks to name part of K-99 Highway the “ Frankfort Boys World War II Memorial Highway.”
Frankfort native and WWII veteran Frank Benteman, who is leading the effort to rename the stretch of highway from the south city limits of Frankfort to the junction with U.S 36, was among those testifying.
The bill sponsored by Representative Sharon Schwartz, a Washington Republican, will now go to the full House for debate. If approved by the House, it would then be considered by the Kansas Senate.
