Authorities believe Lana-Leigh Bailey's body was moved to Osage County after killings in Ottawa
I am glad to see that this poor family at least won't have to go through the torture of forever wondering "what if?" At least they can bury their precious grandchild and try to get through life. Blessings to all the volunteers, police, etc. who gave of their time and their hearts' blood to make sure this precious baby was found.
As to the perpetrator of these crimes,I'm putting aside the thoughts I'm having about what should be done to him, and remembering that he will face a greater Judge than any that can be found here on earth. Hopefully sooner, rather than later. That's all I'll say on that.
My heart goes out to all who have been touched by these senseless acts.

Lawrence cyclist seriously injured in collision with vehicle
What sickens me is that every time this happens, the "blame the cyclist!" and "all drivers are idiots, blame the driver!" comments invariably outnumber those wishing the injured person well.
I will do my part to reverse that trend. My prayers are with both the injured cyclist and the driver of the car. Regardless of fault, both have had their lives changed forever and deserve sympathy and support.
Let he/she who has never made an error throw the first monkey wrench.

What is your favorite Lawrence business?
Is it just me, or does Larry look like maybe he's had a little TOO MUCH coffee?

Republican freshman lawmakers in Kansas House undergo re-election briefing
Reminds me of what my dad said to me about the training I had to undergo during the first two weeks of my job as a car salesperson. "First they will teach you to lie, then they will teach you to cheat and steal."

City agrees to create resident-only parking zone on street near KU campus
Not just the classified ones, either. The unclassified, 10 bucks an hour folks have to cough up $600 per year for a permit, and then there is no guarantee of actually finding a space. KU sells more permits than they have spaces available!

Letter: Not so bad
I despair of our civilization when lack of White Castle and Chuck E. Cheese are listed as reasons that a city is going down the tubes. If you want all that crap, move to JoCo! I don't live in Lawrence but I work here, and the city is growing too fast for my tastes, and not in good ways. More cookie cutter houses, apartments and townhomes. More twisty disorganized residential streets. If more of that means good growth, then count me out! Higher taxes, worse streets. Prices are ridiculous, housing prices in particular. I don't know how blue collar families afford to live here at all.

Tax enables hundreds of adults to earn high school diploma
You assume that the only reason folks don't finish high school is because they didn't take it seriously. Many kids end up dropping out to help earn money for their families. Others drop out to take responsibility for children they were not planning for, or due to illness or many other reasons. Those are the same kinds of folks who are likely to benefit from this program. If we can afford to use billions in tax dollars to give subsidies to oil companies already making multi-billion-dollar annual profits, can't we spare a few bucks to help educate those who have the desire to be more successful? I'd wager that every penny spent on this program increases the chances that those same people will eventually support themselves, and not be on the welfare that your tax dollars also funds.

Kansas Action for Children criticizes Brownback's plan to divert funds from children's endowment
I'd pay money to see him try to carry off my firstborn. SHE would kick his butt all the way back to Topeka!

Editorial: Tax fairness
Last I heard, this wouldn't apply to businesses with less than one million in sales annually. So it shouldn't hurt the little guys.
