City commissioner unexpectedly raises issue of Lawrence drinking water fluoridation
I think the wording is weird too. It seems like saying ex-wife would have been a much more standard wording for their relationship. I don't know why children have any bearing on the relationship between him and this woman.

‘Nanobrewery’ hopes to set up operations in western Douglas County; demand for tickets to downtown Lawrence craft beer expo anything but ‘nano’
I was pretty disappointed and even a little annoyed when I tried to get tickets to this beer festival on the afternoon that they went on sale only to find out they were already sold out. It just seems like you should have a better idea about the demand for your product and promote it appropriately. If I had known that there was a chance it could sell out by even the end of the first day, I would have been to where I needed to be as soon as tickets were made available.
I do think this could be a great event for Lawrence, but I hope its management is handled better in the future so it doesn't start to create a negative vibe towards the event.

Solar panels on the roofs of downtown Lawrence buildings ready to start cranking out electricity
Chad, in your story you say: "the electric provider in the region must buy back the electricity it produces. In other words, your monthly utility bill is offset by the amount of electricity the solar panel system produces."
My question is what if you generate more electricity than your monthly utility bill? Would Westar have to pay you the going rate for the electricity? I doubt this situation applies in this instance since I would assume that those two business use more electricity than the $5,000 annual estimate this system provides, but I am just curious of the answer if it were to happen.

City gets proposals for citywide, curbside recycling; proposed rates come in between $2 and $5 per month
Pick up glass! Pick up glass! Pick up glass!
If you are going to force a service on us that would put out of business those companies we contract with already to handle our recycling (and include glass!), at least make the new service equal in scope!

Recreation center debate causes commissioner to question 'relevance' of Lawrence Association of Neighborhoods; other notes from last night's Rock Chalk Park meeting
I am glad to finally hear the city commission acknowledge this point:
"they said they believed residents still supported the idea of electing commissioners to make those types of decisions."
This is exactly why we elect a city commission! We elect people that we feel will take the time to learn about the issues facing the city and proceed in a manner that is best for Lawrence as a whole. If a majority of people don't like the job they do, then you vote them out and choose a new group of people. We can't put everything to a vote, despite people on these boards constantly calling for such actions.

City says extra trash won't count against households during post-holiday time period
I love this line:
"We are the kinder, gentler, more understanding Solid Waste Division,” said Chuck Soules, the city’s director of public works.
I appreciate folks that have a little fun in their work and this type of comments make Chuck sound like he doesn't take himself too seriously. I love it!

Rumblings of Menards coming to Lawrence may be impacted by retailer's decision to pull back on Kansas City area expansion, which it blames on Obama
According to Forbes, in 2011 Menards had about 40,000 employees and revenues of about $7.17 Billion. Quite a small business...
