If someone did have to cast a provisional ballot, will he/she ever know whether or not his/her ballot was or was not accepted? and, if so, how?

chic (Anonymous) says…

So, what IS the new name?

chic (Anonymous) says…

Vote YES - and, please, ONLY vote ONCE. However, IF you ARE going to vote No, PLEASE vote several times. Then, when they discover your crime, they will erase all of them. Thank you very much!

What KU would get would be the ability to advertise that there IS good public transportation in Lawrence. Many students who are from places where there IS good public transportation MAY take that into account when making their decisions about whether or NOT to choose KU. If they will have the additional expense of a vehicle or cabs just to get to class, they MAY choose a school that they ARE able to get to. The cost of the “alternate transportation” (which to them is car, cab) COULD more than outweigh a difference in tuition. NOTE: I put that “alternate transportation” in quotes. The bus is only considered “alternate transportation”, IF one has a car…

Not true. I don't know the details, but this is a cooperative agreement. There is economic advantage. And, if you don't think that improving the services for KU students, so more are attracted to KU, is a net plus for Lawrence, you are wrong.

SORRY, Nancy,

Your sign will NOT be in my yard, after all. It went the way of my retirement account.

I submit that many people who use the T each day to get to/from work, to/from shopping and to/from the doctor:

1. Have no other way to do those things but walk - and, many of them are NOT able to do that (age, physical disability, etc.)

2. Do NOT have a computer and can NOT make themselves “heard” in forums such as this.

Why do you and I care whether there is public transportation in Lawrence?

1. Because as humans I hope we are willing to assist those who ARE trying to help themselves.

2. If those people are NOT able to do those above-listed things here in Lawrence, they will either leave and take their contributions to the job market and their buying power (even though possibly minimal, cumulatively significant) or lose their jobs and then we will pay via increased public assistance.

3. Someday, maybe in the not-too-distant future, one of us might NEED it. Circumstances can change and something we cared nothing about, COULD become a life-line.

So, vote yes!!!! for all the RIGHT reasons!!

What is the NAME of the new group?

Do they have a WEB page? if so, what is the URL?

chic (Anonymous) says…

If a bill is not later able to pass the legality test, it's a waste of time to vote for it. Sometimes a bill needs to be refined before a version will become available that should be voted into law.

Since the example was only a resolution and, in fact, NOT a bill, why the outrage? However, even on resolutions, discrimination (for OR against) one particular group of people (Christians vs other religions or non-religious) should not occur.

There will be a Marci Francisco sign in my yard and my vote will continue to go to her.

chic (Anonymous) says…

Go get 'em, Marci!!

If there IS anyone who understands the rules, and how to use them, it IS Marci Francisco.
