Would you rather have a lower income tax and higher sales tax, or lower sales tax and higher income tax?
I grew up in a state that had a sales tax, but food and clothing were exempt (not restaurant food, just groceries). That made the sales tax less regressive as lower income people spend a higher percentage of their income on these basic necessities.

Editorial: Master plan
Really? Just run conduit and add 10 receptacles without regard to electrical code or consideration of how much load you're putting on a circuit. I never knew electricians had such an easy job!

Car crashes through pet store on 23rd Street
You might want to check out some stats on accident rates by age (http://www.census.gov/compendia/stata...). Drivers under 24 are more dangerous than those over 75, and the 65-74 age group is the safest of them all.

Public asked to report ‘docile’ raccoons to city
Guess again clown. I've got three dogs and I do care about them, but I care a heck of a lot more about my three kids and if given the choice I'd lose all three dogs (and frankly every dog in Lawrence) to distemper rather than one of my children or any other child to rabies.

Public asked to report ‘docile’ raccoons to city
Odd that they are so concerned about a disease that does not spread to humans. A few years back I called Animal Control to report a bat that was possibly rabid, flying erratically in broad daylight in a neighborhood full of kids and they said that they don't deal with stuff like that. I was told I could contact a private pest control company to get rid of the bat if I desired. Seems like protecting humans from rabies should be a higher priority than protecting our pets from distemper.
