City wins $1.2 million grant to restore Santa Fe depot
Well, you can't expect local governments to have the wherewithal and expertise to pave a bike trail, or restore a rock sign, can you? Sometimes, you just need a huge Federal Government to match up with the scope of the task.

Lawrence police write 586 tickets in 2013 Click it or Ticket campaign
100 percent of fatal-accident victims in Kansas were IN WRECKS.
Why do we not focus on the bad driving, the reduction of which would prevent wrecks?
Seat belts are fine, but they only help reduce the damage AFTER the wreck, and I'd like to see us work on PREVENTING the wreck.
I could write a thousand tickets a day for distracted driving, following too closely, failing to signal, unsafe turns, etc., etc., .... but I guess there are no grant funds for that.
No tinfoil hat for me, but I'm scratching my head over the priorities.

KU planning to launch 15 new online programs over 5 years under new deal with startup company
On-campus education is not only increasingly archaic, but also prohibitively (and needlessly) expensive.
This signals the beginning of the end of the bloated on-campus college system, and it is well past the time for it to collapse.

Editorial: More guns
(tablet malfunction)... might drop the guy immediately, instead of having to helplessly watch people mowed down while waiting for help to come.
The sensible response is to take down the signs.

Editorial: More guns
The cost to comply can be virtually Zero ... just take down the signs.
The current law, in practice, is that law-abiding CC permit holders are banned from bringing guns in, and they obey the law; yet non-permit carriers can bring in guns, because they do not obey the law, and no one is checking. The result is that the only guns in the building (other than LEOs) are the illegal ones.
The rationale of the new law is sound: If you are not going to assure that outlaws are not bringing in guns (tip- signs don't stop them), the you ought to let trained, screened, permitted carriers bring theirs too.
I like that outcome. I like the idea that if a gang-banger or nut job starts shooting, then maybe a retired marine or off- duty cop

Turnpike toll collectors to see changes in how many hours they work because of ACA, officials say
Exactly. I use the automated exit at Haysville -- you just drive up, swipe your card or pop in cash, and go -- no more need for a collector at a toll booth thsn for a bank teller at an ATM.
Automate and get rid of all of them, hire a few techies to run the machines.
