Statehouse Live: Brownback, legislators approve funding that they say will complete Statehouse project
As the article indicates, the company who did the original estimates and has "managed" the project from the beginning is J.E. Dunn Construction, Kansas City, MO.

Heard on the Hill: New engineering building fully opening soon; engineering prof gets KBA boost; West Campus road construction ends
There is no nuclear reactor there anymore. It was decommissioned and the parts and pieces removed. If you want the straight story, why don't you call Mike Russell at KU EHS?? The space formerly occupied by a small nuclear reactor is now offices and storage. No drama. That portion of Burt Hall will remain intact, while the north half will be demolished.

Residents asked to conserve water as drought persists
In many countries around the world, there are desalinization plants on the coasts that pump water through huge pipelines hundreds of miles inland. Why don't you bother to inform yourself instead of assuming the negative?

U.S. House candidate criticized over comment made at forum
I knew that I couldn't vote for Bob Eye before, but this really seals the deal. Ridiculous.

10th Circuit Court of Appeals upholds state's approved route of South Lawrence Trafficway through the Baker Wetlands
To suggest that this decision is a surprise by any stretch of the imagination is simply not realistic. I think that attorneys are occasionally "guilty" of misleading their groups of clients on the feasibility of a verdict in their favor, when in fact they and their clients may have completely misjudged what the huge majority of citizens and elected officials will find reasonable. I happen to support the project and am frustrated by persons who think that there is a way that they can tug on the cuff of progress and somehow slow it down. Again, they must live in a completely unrealistic environment that they have created. The created wetlands and other facilities will be a terrific addition to our area.

What trees?
Most of the trees in question are on utility easements or street right-of-way, for which the utility companies have a legal right to trim or clear anything. And most of those situations have existed since before the trees were planted. Like it or not, if you plant and encourage the growth of large trees in those areas, you can eventually be disappointed in the outcome.

Just as every breath you take contains oxygen we could be using to grow useful, green plants.

Camper action
My suggestion to all who think that this type of behavior is acceptable, good for business, meets public health considerations and inspires people's consideration of Lawrence diversity - please sign a list that I will be happy to post in a conspicuous downtown location and indicate when they can park in front of your houses or in your driveways. Take some ownership in this issue, and be a good example!
