Letter: Clear choice
Katara, You either have a wonderful sense of satire or a complete lack of proportion and common sense. To compare a $5000 donation from Mr. Penny, a man with a monetary interest in big time growth in Lawrence to Tom Harper's (a dedicated preservationist and someone active in his neighborhood) $100 is a brilliant example of false equivalence. Then the Tobias comment convinced me you should be writing for the Onion.

City commission candidates give views on economic development issues, downtown redevelopment
There appears to be a new coalition of Farmer, Chesnut and Riorden. For all his comments about wanting 1 Lawrence, Farmer is teaming up with pro Chamber candidates to push out Soden, Amyx and Criqui who would best represent the entire community.

Incentives should be a carrot and stick. We have given tax breaks and other incentives in the past, with the promise of more good jobs, increased sales tax collections etc. and never follow up to see if the promises are kept. There should be be penalties for not living up to obligations.
