City commissioner wants review of city's storm shelter policies in wake of Oklahoma tornado
When the new development code was discussed, builders and realtors claimed that storm shelters would increase the cost of real estate dramatically. Consequently, Corliss will not find storm shelters required in the city code.

Lawhorn's Lawrence: A night of partying in Oread
The picture is not what I would use as an image for a university. It's not good for the public or my grandchildren. Some of us think higher education is serious business. It costs the family a lot of money. Our kids need to study. Yes, they should have fun, but this picture should accompany an article on student drinking problems. No wonder KU is considered a party school.

Editorial: Police needs
Too bad Scott McCullough eliminated the GIS analyst position. That person could analyze the variables and tell us where good locations are for one or two police stations.

Would you rather have a lower income tax and higher sales tax, or lower sales tax and higher income tax?
Good job and two lessons learned.
1. Just because one really believes something, that doesn't make it true.
2. One cannot believe everything s/he reads.

Haskell's president, Chris Redman, leaving for job in Oklahoma
Yes, Haskell is part of the community, but a very quiet part. Locals do go to pow wows and art shows, but what do Haskell folks do in the community. Do they participate in city events, local government, organizations?
Lawrence often supports Haskell, mostly because it is an important place. I would stop short of saying it is part of the community. Interaction is a two way street.

Conservatives at odds over budget, taxes as wrap-up session drags on
Now, these legislators and the governor have sole responsibility for their tax cut mantra. There's no one to blame. This is getting interesting. Missouri is watching.
P.S. Good idea posted for balancing the tax cut plan. I hadn't thought of capping eligible businesses.

Simons' Saturday Column: Lawrence has lost growth, economic momentum
Liberty, A comprehensive plan is more general and does not focus on any particular component. I agree that Lawrence should not try to interfere with business decisions. We need a vision that addresses growth, but also plans for living, services, working and so on. Do we want to focus on seniors, athletes, commercial, biomedical, ...? We are a small community. Can we go in all these directions?
If some have a different vision than yours, that does not make them less worthy. Their voices are just as important. Communication really can help those with opposing views modify and accommodate their thinking.
