- Letter: Clear choice
- March 22, 2013
- What was once talked about quietly among friends has now come out for all to see. With the actions of the new political action committee, Lawrence United, a line has been drawn. Here are people who stand to profit from unlimited growth and easier access to decision-making, looking to elect three city commissioners who share their view. The three others running want sustainable and sensible growth that maintains our quality of life, and value all Lawrence voters. Lawrence United has made the choice on April 2 quite clear. Voters should say no to powerful forces trying to shape Lawrence for their own purposes.

- Letter: Recycling choice
- March 22, 2013
- We are unhappy with the apparent City Commission decision over the issue of curbside recycling service. We have been out of town for most of February and March and therefore are just catching up to City Commission decisions. We have been customers of Deffenbaugh since they first started their services to Lawrence residents. Deffenbaugh is a leader in how to efficiently and economically deal with recycling. They charge a better rate than the one projected for the alternative. Every other week will not be sufficient for anyone who seriously wants to recycle as much as possible. As a household of only two, we nearly fill our Deffenbaugh recycle container weekly. We only fill about half our city trash container and we have the smallest one. Deffenbaugh appears to be the best solution, but the current city commissioners seem to favor an unknown, higher-priced and less-experienced provider.
