Long-term plan suggests toll lanes on K-10 corridor
How does a toll system help reduce the dependency on foreign oil, reduce the number of accidents on K10, attract business growth to the area? A light rail system helps move the area in a direction that is good for the future. 2030 is more than enough time to re-evaluate the SLT and determine how a light rail and the SLT can meet the future needs of the area, and get the other communities, Eudora, Topeka, OP, on board for budgeting the idea.

Long-term plan suggests toll lanes on K-10 corridor
Why the state and local governments are not recommending a light rail system in Lawrence along K10 is perplexing? The area is in a good position due to population is low in this area and there would be a small amount of disruption to the housing developments.
With the right proposal Federal funding may be available since the present federal administration is looking into ways to improve the railway system.
It is important for those in the position to make the proposals for developing mass transportation for this area to take advantage while there is a focus on K10.

Long-term plan suggests toll lanes on K-10 corridor
A real long term plan should be a light rail mass transit system. The counties still get their revenue, the demand for driving cars reduces, road repairs decrease on K10, and hopefully an increase in business growth for the areas. As commuters get older and the workforce is expected to work to an older age it will benefit everyone to have the option to drive or use mass transit.

City estimates it may cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per year to keep concealed weapons out of city buildings
Instead of trying to fight the CC law. Someone should start a gun making business in Lawrence. Smith & Wesson, Remington, Glock, etc, is making a big profit in the gun industry. The new business will help lower the unemployment in Lawrence instead of waiting for all the CCHs to start shooting each other -- and us.

Two KU students arrested in connection with break-in at Memorial Stadium
The punishment should be that both of them are forced to sit in the same seat for all the games and clean all the "Jayhawks on Parade" on campus before each game.

Report: McLemore’s AAU coach took agent money
One idea on reducing the risk of agents going after athletes is for the University to question the people the athlete is requesting tickets for. In Ben's case he was starting to be recognized as a lottery pick and now his mom is taking people to his games. How the University could identify a person who is trying to take advantage of them is difficult. But, maybe talking to the athlete and asking them some questions and reminding them of the rules may help.

Report: McLemore’s AAU coach took agent money
The message to any athlete is if an agent or AAU coach is willing to jeopardize your college's future and your future, think about what he will do when he tries to manage your money. The agent knows the rules and that the NCAA is serious.
If Ben has any smarts about his future, do not hire this slug of an agent or the AAU coach to represent him. Or, 10 years from now Ben will be returning to poverty.

State officials working overtime to keep up with concealed-carry permits
The Horror, The Horror!!!! More people carrying guns waiting for the chance to shoot someone. In the future, there will be a time when it will be like the Wild West. People lined up in the street at high noon settling their differences by shooting each other in the foot.
Kansas has Education, Health, Government, Environment, and Gun Control problems, and our solution is to have more people carrying concealed weapons???
Is that the focus of Kansas to ignore the big issues but make sure there is a pistol in their pants?
We are better than the NRA radicals with zero solutions for solving the gun problem in America!! It is time Kansas starts showing them why we are better and emphasis on CC is not the answer!!!

Police cite 27 motorists in Monday night seat-belt enforcement
We can debate the pros and cons of seatbelt safety but I would rather wear one while driving than to find out later about the benefits. It is good that the police took time out of their schedule to remind drivers of the importance of seatbelt safety. It is them that arrive on the scene and have to deal with the medical issues related to not wearing one.
Most businesses go through daily safety awareness and exercises to remind employees to be safe. If they don't they could lose their job. Employees usually take their job seriously and their safety. Why not do the same when you are behind the wheel????
"Buckle up for Safety before you drive---- or Walk"!!!!
