Lawrence ranked second-worst-performing small metro area, according to new national economic index
Look at all of these economic experts! I bet almost none of which have been to one City Council meeting in his or her life.
This is complicated stuff. For all this kvetching I would think maybe not re-electing the same folks year after year would be one place to start.
Lawrence is a much larger place than it was when I moved here in 2000, with greater amenities than when I moved here. It is very true that there are not enough jobs to keep people from moving... but when you have an influx of 5,000 students every year, many of whom would like to stay after graduation, it's kind of a losing equation.

Brownback sets weight-loss challenge; not a fan of new school lunch standards
I am NO fan of Brownback but this is basically no different than insurance companies offering incentives to quit smoking. It is effective, and ultimately a net benefit for everyone, as the more healthy behaviors that we all engage in, the less the insurance premiums will cost. Preventative health care measures are a cost-cutting measure that provide incentives to improve your life. These things work. Imagine - something the right and left can agree on.

Um, state employees who are healthier actually SAVE YOU money, because their health insurance costs (which are taxpayer funded) go down. All state employees are eligible for this.

Details on proposed city/KU sports complex emerging; deal likely won't involve standard bidding process
Why is the city involved in this? Why is it all the way out there?

Not bad lighting. I live at that intersection. There's actually a streetlight at that corner.

KU tuition and fees going up; admission standards getting more stringent
The costs are going up because the state continually gives less money to the University - that combined with rising costs of providing healthcare = higher tuition. It is really unpleasant for students, but KU is still very competitively priced when compared to other state schools. Just check out CU-Boulder tuition rates if you'd like some nice sticker shock.
