State officials in Kansas have filed a lawsuit to stop more public bond money from going to Derby Shores, a planned $160 million lagoon resort. The project still has no buildings above ground, four years after it was approved. The Kansas Department of Commerce filed the lawsuit this month in Sedgwick County District Court.
