Planning Commission recommends approval of Menards store for south Lawrence
I'm really tired of hearing about loosing small businesses to big box stores. Big box stores in Lawrence mean that people don't have to drive to Topeka and Kansas City to go to one. It's about time all that big box spending occurred in Lawrence for our own city to get the tax revenue.

Higher education officials say concealed carry on campus probably inevitable in the future
I don't understand; now that universities have to take down the no-gun signs NOW they want to put up metal detectors?

KU chancellor's pay ranks 86th among U.S. public university leaders
So basically she gets a salary larger than the president of the United States. Not counting the free travel, security, and everything else but still. I'd say that president of the US warrants a higher salary than president of KU.

City estimates it may cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per year to keep concealed weapons out of city buildings
Because that no-gun sign has been what's keeping criminals from entering city hall with a gun all these years...

Wicked Broadband project seeks $500,000 city grant; downtown hotel project seeks adjustment to incentives package; historical society seeks $20k for new exhibit
I'm still trying to understand what's up everybody's A about a tax abatement? That empty lot isn't helping Lawrence any, but taking a smaller percentage of taxes from a huge hotel is still a huge income for the city. People here literally think that money is just being given to Compton. Please take an economics class so we can create some jobs and economic growth in Lawrence.

Lawrence ranked second-worst-performing small metro area, according to new national economic index
I agree, the library and sports complex are pet projects for privileged companies. Barely 50% of Lawrence voted they wanted the new library.
Especially since the next big ticket item for Lawrence is a new police station expansion.

"Name them." --University of Colorado
You mean the fact that it's a college town and has the mountains "skiing, biking, hiking, fishing, and camping."
