Construction to reduce downtown Kansas River bridges to one lane beginning Monday
One lane means one lane. So to those of you headed north off of Tennessee for the bridge, it would be nice if you didn't block the intersection at 6th for those headed east on 6th. The intersection is usually totally blocked because people are trying to creep into that lane off of Tennessee. The whole time blocking the outside lane for those headed to Mass. or beyond.

Drug testing bill goes to governor
Yesterday while I was shopping I overheard a couple of women talking. One was telling the other that she finally has an appointment at SRS regarding her application. Then she went on to say how much she would be getting a month. The conversation ended with them agreeing that would be more than she makes working. I think maybe a second job would be more appropriate. As for the false positives, they look at ranges. If you are blowing out the high end of a range, then chances are it's not a false positive. They can do a repeat test and draw blood the second time. Blood tests are highly accurate.

Drug testing bill goes to governor
Think how many abusers will crop up. They will be testing for legal drugs also. Hopefully you will have a prescription in your name and aren't buying them on the street or taking Grandma's meds. There is quite a list on the drug screen panels. Amphetamines, Barbiturates, Benzodiazepines, Antidepressants, Opiates to name a few. It would probably an interesting experiment if nothing else. If they really want to make it interesting they could do the initial drug screen that everyone will be anticipating, and then start in with the random testing.

Kansas Highway Patrol to enforce seat-belt laws at area high schools
As the parent of a 17 year old I'd like to see them put a couple of wrecked vehicles on display. They could do one for a texting while driving visual and one for drinking while driving. Prom week would be a good time. They used to do this at high schools in the spring.

Health care providers oppose Republican resolution to not expand Medicaid
Insurance companies are still calling the shots. They have a nasty little thing called a prior authorization that they require for many drugs and procedures that have been prescribed by your MD. If the drug isn't on their formulary, or the procedure isn't deemed medically necessary, they will deny coverage. So you or your company are paying them thousands a year and they claim to know more about your health care diagnosis and plan than your doctor does. Even though you are nothing more than a number and a $ sign to them.

Snow more: Winter storm warning issued for Monday, Tuesday
Maybe they need to start building more snow days in and then they could let them out earlier in May if they don't use them. As it is now they are out by the middle of May. Last day of class is May 17th in Eudora, with Graduation on May 18th. I'm not sure how they are going to have time to make up 4 snow days in two and 1/2 months.

Lawrence couple build an eco-friendly, round home
Negativity is the name of the game on this website. Don't listen to it. It's causing their negative driven brains to rot. And why would the cost of the land be of anyone's business? It's a nice house, built by nice people I'm sure, who have chosen to do their own thing.
