Kansas Congressional delegation dismayed at supercommittee's inability to reach agreement
Oh cry me a river. Talk about trying to cover their party behinds as they demonstrate their intransigence. The R's single handedly created this fake crisis this year on debt extension, so they don't get off this easily with their disappointment. (Everyone should check their 401(k)s this week just to show you how much these bozos cost your personally)
Let's get back to those tax rates that were good enough for Reagan.
Or maybe even Eisenhower. Now there was a socialist! Ha!

Consolidating schools certain to ‘hurt,’ board member says
For what it is worth, this is going on all over. Wichita is closing five elementary schools next year. I believe Topeka closed three this year.

"...seeking to rezone the mobile home park from a single-family residential zoning district to RM-12, a multi-family zoning category that would allow 12 living units per acre."
In part, this sounds like how we got into that current mess out at Inverness & Clinton Drive. And this is wrong.
If they do re-zone it to RM-12, and only partially build it out, they are setting up a situation to force an additional upzoning in the future... to RM-24 or something like that (very dense).....which is exactly the current situation at Inverness and Clinton. The single family residents there are angry, which they should be, about the proposed apartments out there, which came from a previous "partial" build on a lot.
Which begs the question, what justifies the rezoning of the land from single family, which it has always been, in the first place? Is there really a need for 1,000 new apartments in this town? Do we really want to become a city-wide student ghetto of half filled decrepit apartment complexes?
If every developer can plop 1,000 apartment units down where ever they want onto land zoned single family, why do we even pretend we have zoning in the city?

Attorney for school districts says Brownback education finance plan would make matters worse
Someone should ask John Robb et al. how much they have profited/.gained from the previous litigation.
I'm not saying it is totally undeserved, but my point is, after profiting in magnificent sums in the amount of hundreds of thousands of dollars in the original litigation, he has little incentive to not sue once again, regardless of the issues involved.

Businessman challenging city on parachuting rights
I would respectfully suggest that Ron Holzwarth has demonstrated in a single thread how little he knows about the topics of aviation, FAA regulations and airport funding, and most of all....insurance.
