- Elite decision
- February 13, 2012
- Journal-World front page news (Feb. 8) is all too familiar in our city. “City allows fake grass at apartments.” This decision is one of thousands that reflect what is wrong with our country: misguided decisions crafted by politicians that protect the elite 1 percent at the expense of the other 99 percent.
- KOMA loophole
- February 13, 2012
- The Kansas Open Meeting Act’s problem is the hole that’s big enough to allow Earth to pass through that will always allow the “he said/she said” conundrum that’s under way. Of what do I write? KOMA’s allowance of unnoticed meetings of majorities of legislative bodies.
- Capitalism
- February 13, 2012
- The concept of capitalism seems to be taking an unfair hit lately.
- Not broken
- February 12, 2012
- As the deadline for the Central and East Lawrence Consolidation Working Group’s recommendation looms, neither the Lawrence school board nor the district administration has offered a clear explanation for why this exercise is necessary in the first place.
- Poor evaluation
- February 10, 2012
- So Brownback wants to evaluate teachers based on a one-shot test, among other things, and post the evaluation on the Internet.
- Pummeling KU
- February 10, 2012
- I am now convinced that Dolph Simons Jr. stays up nights, scouring any data source, looking for some way to criticize Kansas University and the chancellor.
- Condemn sin
- February 10, 2012
- As a “religious fundamentalist” (who does not fear homosexuals), I would like to commend Anna Slemmer for her letter (Public Forum, Feb. 3).
- Garden caution
- February 10, 2012
- While fully supporting the idea of city-owned gardens (Journal-World., Feb. 7), I must offer some caution on the implementation of this worthwhile scheme.
- Musical delight
- February 10, 2012
- I just returned from the choral concert by local middle and high school students and it’s going to take a while for me to come down from the clouds.
- Recycling plea
- February 9, 2012
- I walk every day, so when I see the mountains of garbage people put out for pickup, I get upset. It’s cringe-worthy to see all the cardboard, paper, plastic, glass and metal going to the landfill. I hear most do not want to pay for recycling because they hardly put out any trash, they do their own recycling, they cannot afford to pay or the bins are too big. The “task force” wants to increase citywide recycling from the current rate of 34 percent. I wonder where they get this figure? I bet it is far less.
- Health plea
- February 7, 2012
- As a mental health client and advocate, I would like to focus attention on the decimation of services for the mentally ill that has occurred over the past few years.
- Gun sense
- February 7, 2012
- I read, with dismay, the Feb. 1 article in the Journal-World that there is a move in the Kansas Legislature to allow concealed weapons on college campuses.
- Message of love
- February 7, 2012
- It’s almost Valentine’s Day and we’ve got trouble right here in River City.
- Backward plan
- February 6, 2012
- State unemployment and income tax data refute Gov. Brownback’s claim that Kansas will have more jobs if it lowers taxes on corporations and the rich and raises them on the middle class and working poor.
- Pay it forward
- February 6, 2012
- Just an hour ago, I was treated to an act of pure, completely unselfish kindness by a stranger, a woman at the Phillips 66 car wash at Ninth and Iowa.
