Anti-abortion activists urge passage of fetal heartbeat bill in Kansas
The same people that want government to stay out of their lives, are the ones that want government to get involved in the lives of others as long as it doesn't effect them. Total hypocrisy.

City set to make additional improvements to Sixth and Iowa intersection
Wonder why they didn't just opt to build a round a bout at that intersection?? That seems to be the usual answer for just about any traffic problem these days. Also, I wonder if they'll ever change the lights on 6th street to sensors instead of timers. I know for a fact you can wait for up to 5 minutes waiting for a light to change if you're on Kasold or Monterey Way trying to cross while there is little to no traffic on 6th...

Transportation secretary has no specifics on savings if agency takes over turnpike
Hopefully this gets shut down. I can live with paying the toll to get to work every day knowing that the highway I am driving on is always kept up and one of the nicest highways I've every driven on. If they merge the KTA with the government run department you know that toll money would be shifted elsewhere, like the ridiculous 20 year reconstruction/ redirection project of 435 in Overland Park, that's if it even goes to any transportation project. The actual Turnpike would not get the attention it is now getting to keep it in top shape because they'll deem that it's fine and can go a few years without any improvements needed. The government needs to leave the KTA alone and maybe save some money by leaving round a bout projects off the table. Every road doesn't need a roundabout!

Town Talk: City ready to spend $885,000 on new trash carts, set rates for new trash service; weekly land transfers
This is the worst waste of money I've ever heard of. If trash carts are such a good idea, and saves so much money, why haven't they been free to use this entire time. Secondly, why am I forced to have an oversized trash bin that won't even fit in to my garage. Third, are they really going to end up telling us how much trash we should have? Are we supposed to horde our trash? Should we drive it around and find the nearest apartment dumpster to dump our crap? Do we burn it? Is that really what they want? If not and they continue to allow us to put whatever trash out, then what is the point of this? Could they find better use of their dollar on a training video on lifting trash and legal form where city workers sign that they understand how much weight they can lift, and how to team lift heavy objects? Should they recieve free gym memberships and have to pass a physical? Why not take the $900,000 and invest it in the start up of a recycling program. I'm pretty sure people would rather have their rates increased for a recycling program. Buy us smaller bins for that! If we all recycled that would create less waste, less trash in the landfill, and less for the garbage men to pick up. Now if this makes too much sense, I apologize, I am not as smart as the city commision.

Town Talk: UPDATE: New police HQ building to cost $30 million; City staff presents plan to buy 23,000 trash carts; city estimating 7,000 households would see rate decrease with cart plan
Companies make money off of selling recycled material. There should be no reason why this service isn't already included with our services at no extra charge!!! Recycling pays for itself!
