Consortium asks federal court to overturn DHS decision to locate NBAF biolab in "tornado alley"

The Texas Biological and Agro-Defense Consortium, which includes the Texas Research & Technology Foundation, has filed suit in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington, D.C., to overturn Department of Homeland Security's decision to locate the National Bio- and Agro-Defense Facility in Kansas.

The lawsuit cites serious irregularities in the decision-making process, improper political influence, and disregard for public safety when DHS selected tornado-prone Kansas.
