The Journal-World reviewed a set of documents and canceled checks delivered to the city by the Kansas University Endowment Association earlier this month. Some of the documents appear to contradict statements made by KU Endowment officials, who largely have been responsible for ensuring that expenses and receipts reconcile on nearly $12 million worth of infrastructure that a Thomas Fritzel-led firm built at Rock Chalk Park. Mayor Mike Amyx said he is hopeful a recent audit ordered by the city will provide answers to such questions. By Chad Lawhorn

They estimate they’ve collected 10 million aluminum cans in the process. By Chad Lawhorn
