Local Board of Realtors collecting items today for tornado survivors in Oklahoma City area
I just went to the Lawrence Board of Realtors Facebook page and saw that they've been requesting supplies since Tuesday. Great job LJW on getting the word out.

Local Board of Realtors collecting items today for tornado survivors in Oklahoma City area
Wish they could have posted this earlier. I would have brought a bunch of stuff, but stuck at work until at least 6:00. They should at least accept donations until sunset so people can get off work and deliver supplies. HINT HINT

Why are graduations in the middle of the week?
I used to do graduation photos for one of the main companies that does both high school and college graduations. Most high school graduations are during the week and colleges are on weekends. I travelled all over the midwest and this was the trend. Only tiny little towns that had one small school did the weekend graduations, but they had NOTHING else ever going on.
Doesn't matter when they hold it, someone will whine.

Republican tax plans would increase state revenue, analyses say
They'll just keep pushing people to go to KC MO for big purchases. Their rate is only 4.225%. Guess where many of us go when we need a new appliance, car, etc...
Take a good look at what other states taxes are. http://www.salestaxinstitute.com/reso...
I sure hope these idiots in charge right now realize how many moderate republicans can't wait for the next election to boot their selfish, Koch controlled butts. I know so many, mainly older (retirement age and above) that have had it and want Sam and the current congress gone. Everyone, except the ignorant that will always vote R because they think it's the party of God and no facts will ever make them think different, are sick and tired of Bozo and his clown circus. If these morons somehow stay in power, they're going to start seeing many of us leave this state. I know many in my family are already considering it and one has made the move. CO is looking really good and moderate republicans are accepted there.

Weekday graduations get mixed reviews from parents and families
It's very common for high school graduations to be held on weekdays and colleges usually have them on weekends.
Shawnee Mission district always has weekday graduations. SM East and South had theirs Monday, North's was Tuesday, West and Northwest had theirs last Thursday.

Push-back on Common Core not unique to Kansas
I want Dave's job. Unfortunately, I'd have to be one of the Koch brothers concubines and I have morals and standards. I'd rather be poor than be owned by the Koch's.
Must be nice to get paid to troll small town newspaper websites and spew misinformation and try to get the ignorant masses to back anything you say. You unfortunately are dealing with Lawrence residents and I believe we are more educated than the populations is rural Kansas that you can easily manipulate.

FreedomWorks urges Legislature to reject Common Core reading and math standards
You hit the nail on the head!
My husband was moved around a lot as a kid, first because dad was military then because he worked for the railroad. He would get to a new area and sometimes would be ahead of the other kids in the same grade and sometimes behind. All states should have the same core standards per grade.

FreedomWorks urges Legislature to reject Common Core reading and math standards
What would be different regarding reading and math in Kansas than in another state? Math is math. Reading is reading. I would like to know what the local additions are that are needed? Teaching them that 666 is the devil's number? That ain't is an OK word to use?

Two men arrested in connection with Sunday morning shooting
Here's an easy one for you. Metal detectors. You attract thug clients, so make sure they aren't armed BEFORE entering your club. You know the clients you're attracting (from cities other than Lawrence). We unfortunately have to put up with the out of town trash.

Two men arrested in connection with Sunday morning shooting
I moved away from there years ago because of what I was seeing in that neighborhood. Liked my home, but not all the people and activity. I could see this club from my upstairs window and nothing good ever happened there. I did have a good view of many fights though.
