The Kansas attorney general on Tuesday issued a legal opinion saying the developers of a proposed Wizard of Oz theme park owe a local utility $400,000.

If the Oz Entertainment Co. doesn't pay the Kansas City Board of Public Utilities the funds, the project wil miss an important deadline, said the AG. The company had no comment as it had not seen the opinion yet.

The Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma is claiming the land for the project as its own. The tribe wants Secretary of Interior Gale Norton to take it into trust, saying tribal members used to live at the former munitions plant.
