City to use eminent domain to take over dilapidated East Lawrence property; Just Food seeks $25,000 in CDBG funding to expand dairy, meat offerings

Oh my. I'm no grammarian, but I find the use of "it" to refer to "the family" in the fifth paragraph of the first bullet point to be astonishing. The pronoun should be "they."

Kobach discusses early voter fraud in state at 'Bleeding Kansas' lecture series

Is it just me or is that man standing behind Kobach looking at him skeptically? Even a cardboard cutout can see Kobach is talking out of his corrugations.

How has the smoking ban affected your going-out habits?

I go out about the same, but I enjoy being out much more.

Editorial: Gun action

You are conveniently leaving off the part of the 2nd Amendment that says "... well regulated..."

Letter: Multiple myths

I'm tired of people assuming that it is the Democrats that spend recklessly. It is not. When the Dems spend, they find the money to pay for it either by diverting money or by raising taxes. This is *fairly* responsible spending. If you look at the record though, Republicans are terribly irresponsible spenders. About 11 trillion dollars of our current debt was caused by Republican Presidents. Republicans are the spend, spend, spenders. Not Democrats.

Kansas voters run contrary to national trends in presidential election, except with independents

Therein lies the rub. Most people don't know what kind of assistance they get from the Federal Government. Its like that guy who played Coach. He once said, "I've been on welfare and food stamps...did anyone help me? No."

Kansas voters run contrary to national trends in presidential election, except with independents

It has happened in the past. Once Kansans start to feel the real effects of Brownback's policies, they'll vote a Democrat back into the governors office. The modern Republican tax and social control experiments have failed in the past and will fail again. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_...

County GOP under new leaders

Rea added, “I have a strong respect for the Republican Party platform. It is congruent with my faith.”

So Rea is for individualism and neglecting the poor and needy. I wonder what her faith is. It is obviously not Christian.

SLT 2nd most expensive project on state’s list

I think an eastern by-pass between Lawrence and Eudora or even east of Eudora that connects K-10 and I-70 would do more to relieve traffic and spur development than the SLT.
