Lawrence ranked second-worst-performing small metro area, according to new national economic index

That the problem, attitudes like you present. Don't like it? GO AWAY! This is why we are last in everything. If this town would attract some good jobs by way of attracting some good companies, it would have more tax dollars to do things with. Give a property tax abatement, New employees and money spent in this town gives us sales tax revenue.

Lawrence ranked second-worst-performing small metro area, according to new national economic index

How many engineers, architects, etc. stay in Lawrence after they graduate? I have family that has wanted to move a tech company here and there is no labor force to draw upon, they are going elsewhere.

Brownback signs into law measure making KDOT secretary the director of operations of Kansas Turnpike

Another example of a country founded by geniouses and run by idiots. Anything run by the government sucks. One of the best roads in the country will now become "one of the rest"

Lawrence man jumps in to help police officer subdue out-of-control suspect

Really dtown? I've seen people on PCP take on 4 cops and get the upper hand. Drugs alter the mind, the mind can alter your abilities. Look at the people who lift cars in emergencies.

KU fraternity suspended by national organization in wake of animal cruelty allegations

Again, great organization, great track record. They made a mistake and behaved poorly. Every young person does at some point. Look at the comments made on this forumn, some of you behave very poorly at times. Teach them this is bad and let them continue to turn out outstanding young men. And for the Greek haters, they are not your typical Fraternity, but they are college aged young men. I'm sure dorm and apartment dwellers have never done something stupid at a party.

Police respond to animal cruelty complaint at KU fraternity

Ok, I'll admit they abused this bird and that was wrong. Why don't we just shoot them? Obviously they are a complete waste of skin.

They are a good group of young men who obviously had too much to drink and some of them acted like jerks.

Police respond to animal cruelty complaint at KU fraternity

They've been doing this for over 50 years. It's their annual christmas party named "turkey pull". Catfish, the Beta house at KU is probably the best Fraternity in the Country. They lead the campus every year in grades and sports and charity. They don't allow women above the second floor except during parties like this one (maybe twice a year). As a General rule, they don't party much. About as sharp a group as there could be on any campus. I bet their GPA is higher than most scholarship houses. I bet their percentage of doctors, lawyers, and high end exectives is higher per capita than any group on campus. How do I know? I'm not a beta, but I work with about 500 greek organizations accross the country every year.

KU Med Center cited by USDA for goat death in lab

Really? These are test animals. They are might die during testing. So what did we learn from the goats death? The drug didn't work right? The doctor? Better a goat than a person. Monkeys died of dehydration? What if they were testing dehydration? they weren't beating the animals, teasing them, etc. My god, with health care so high, we are making it higher with stupid fines... I think I'll go hunting now and shoot something to eat.

State to resume charging 65- to 74-year-olds for hunting, fishing licenses

Wow, if people complain about this, wait till they start paying more for obamacare, lose SS benefits, etc. There is a huge world of hurt coming soon to all government programs, either that or we have to start charging a lot more to be part of this country club we call the USA.
