I had satellite for years and only had two short occurrences with interrupted service due to weather.
The formally local cable company has outages almost weekly.

Road work on K-10 bypass begins Friday; downtown and 23rd Street bridges reopen
Do you understand what state this highway is in? The agency that controls the highway money? Who controls that agency?
Since you obviously don't, I will tell you.
This is in Kansas, a republican dominated state that has always spent heavily on transportation (roads). The agency is KDOT, which gets its money from the republican dominated legislature and is run by a Brownback (republican) appointed secretary.

Bid for recreation center comes in about $10 million lower than expected; questions grow over other cost estimates
“I always wanted to bid it, and there was a time that it wasn’t going down that path until we pushed for it.
Schumm you did <b>NOT always want to bid it. The only reason the project was bid was because of public outcry and the shady nature of the project.

Bid for recreation center comes in about $10 million lower than expected; questions grow over other cost estimates
If the infrastructure only costs ~$5 million (which is should not cost any more than that), then the city should only be on the hook for about $15 million. If that is the case, then I say this will turn out to be a pretty good deal.
Should the city add some components to the rec center? Racquetball courts, tennis courts, outdoor swimming pool?

No, it does not pay property tax as it is owned by the Board of Regents and thus the State of KS. It is valued at $2,107,530.
