Senate Democratic leader asks attorney general whether Supreme Court's voter decision affects Kansas

Kinda odd, if you ask me. Kobach used to teach constitutional law at UMKC Law SChool, yet he advises Arizona on the passage of a law that is found to be unconstitutional. UMKC has always had a reputation as a third-rate law school. These recent events certainly don't do anything to refute that reputation.

Poor Arizona. They gave Kobach all that money and all they have to show for it is a unfavorable Supreme Court decision.

City approves Menards store next to Home Depot at 31st and Iowa streets

The Lawrence Payless Cashways failed because the entire company failed. Their Lawrence store was doing quite well. The Lawrence store closing had nothing to do with lack of business in Lawrence. The entire chain simply went down the toilet, taking the good stores with the bad.

Blackmail charges dropped against Baldwin City woman

If the man is a convicted sexual offender, isn't he required to keep the state informed of his whereabouts and register with the local Sheriff's Department?

City approves Menards store next to Home Depot at 31st and Iowa streets

Actually, the quality may not be the same. I see Mennard's as very similar to Sutherland Lumber, which always had the best prices but the worst quality. Home Depot, on the other hand, is closer to Lowe's in its product line.

There isn't a whole lot of difference in sheet rock, nails, etc. But when you're trying to build something, good lumber makes all the difference in the world.

Will be interesting to see whether folks prefer the better quality of Home Despot, or the lower prices of Mennards.

Kobach considering filing charges against protesters who came to his home

The article is misleading. I didn't see any protesters "standing on his porch." It looks like they went to the porch, deposited some symbolic shoes, and then left. That is not the same as "standing on the porch" and protesting.

Fritzel has made $50,000 payment related to Varsity House settlement with city, officials confirm

Although It has been over seven months since Fritzel agreed to the $50,000 settlement, he didn't pay the money until "the last several weeks."

First, why is Coreless so evasive on the timing of the payment.? Was it yesterday, last week, three weeks ago, or five weeks ago ? Why not be specific, and give the exact date the money was paid. My guess is that "within the last several weeks" means very very recently, but Coreless is too embarrassed to acknowledge that the same man who swindled the city out of millions on the Rock Chalk deal contemptuously and contemporaneously snubbed his nose at the city for months after agreeing to the fifty thousand dollar payment. Either that, or perhaps Fritzel paid in pennies and it took him several weeks to haul 5 million of them to city hall in his wheel barrow. That's quite a few wheel barrow's full. .

And after duping the taxpayers of millions, why would he not relent and finally honor his word. All of a sudden that 50G is chump change.
