Town Talk: Lawrence company taps into athletic-themed jewelry; artificial grass expected to produce real debate at City Hall; this and that about trash and recycling
Artificial turf? Seriously? When there are so many low maintenance, natural alternatives out there? This is a preposterous attempt by a developer to change the law that was knowingly violated. Instead of complying, change the law?? Let's see what it looks like in a few years. This is sad.

Douglas County treasurer's office using a Tonganoxie law firm to help track down those who haven't paid their taxes
When the County Commission starts encouraging citizens to "buy local" they will have some splainin' to do. This is clearly outrageous and bad policy. What were they thinking?

Allen Fieldhouse floor getting spruced up
I believe the large Jayhawk was added to serve as a constant advertisement for KU during televised games. It replaced a small map of the state of Kansas. I like it.

First Bell: Project Graduation seeks sponsors, donors, volunteers; students set for Kansas History Day contest; former LHS principal recalls old district office
Bill Medley was my high school principal. He did an outstanding job, leading LHS through some very difficult years. Sounds like he had a very successful career in education and I wish him well in retirement. Thanks for the update on Mr. Medley.

I think we should call Kris Kobach and ask him to investigate. Could be massive fraud involved.

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback urges Senate action on bill aimed at judge selection process for state Court of Appeals
This is a sad day in Kansas. An independent judiciary is one of the cornerstones of our government. Having a qualified judiciary is essential. The nominating commission process ensured that only qualified candidates were nominated. If the complaint is that lawyers constituted the majority of the nominating commission, then adjust the percentages. But don't dump the system, which has worked well. When this passes, it will allow any Republican Governor, including Gov. Brownback, to appoint whomever they want, since the Kansas Senate has been dominated by the Republican Party for literally 99% of the legislative sessions conducted since the state was founded. This is nothing more than a move to place selection of judges in the hands of the Republican Party. Very sad day in Kansas.

Keith Nitcher remembered as a good steward of KU's finances, a man of integrity
Keith Nitcher contributed more to the stability and success of KU than most chancellors. He helped hold KU together in the turbulent 70's with his well reasoned leadership. He touched a lot of lives with his devotion to KU. I hope the Nitcher family will know that he was truly appreciated and won't be forgotten.

Kansas Supreme Court reduces length of time Last Call shooter must register as violent offender
I appreciate Judge Paula Martin trying to impose the lifetime registration requirement, even if the Supreme Court held otherwise. The fact that the defendant committed first degree murder and attempted aggravated robbery as a 17 year old clearly demonstrates what type of person this is - a violent offender. Thank you to Judge Martin for trying to do the right thing.
