Editorial: Gun law costly
You're right. It makes no sense but a lot of the anti-gun hysteria makes no sense. Just another attempt to waste time and money.

Bid for recreation center comes in about $10 million lower than expected; questions grow over other cost estimates
I am glad Gene won the bid and I am glad we are getting a much better deal.
Sometimes the anti-developer sentiments expressed in this community seem immature and uninformed.
Developers have great talent and the courage at times to take great risks and what we need is more business talent in this city so we can get out of the bottom where we currently reside.
I just hope they build the greatest athletic center in the area so that we can brag about it like we do our basketball. It is what makes Lawrence a place people talk about across the country.

Conservatives at odds over budget, taxes as wrap-up session drags on
It could be worse.
They have to be concerned that the honeymoon is way over and as the financial situation in the state continues to slide into the sewer, they are going to have plenty of egg on their faces.
They have yet to abolish the Kansas Department of Education and appoint a czar in the Governor's office. This would allow them to dramatically change the curriculum and the textbooks in this state.
Guess they couldn't agree on that one yet.

Conservatives at odds over budget, taxes as wrap-up session drags on
This example of perfect government belongs to ALEC and the Koch brothers. They bought it and they own it.
These people will never work well together. The ideas are wrong and the talent level is inadequate.
At least we have Kansas basketball to help us forget these people.

Editorial: Shirking state
Another great editorial.
Let's keep asking the right questions and looking for answers that make sense.

Contentious issue of lighted tennis courts near LHS to be discussed again by city commissioners
Sorry, but I am not sympathetic to the neighbors.
They just sound selfish to me.
What am I not getting?

Ad campaign accuses Kansas schools of low academic standards
We need that conversation about how to make our schools better after we get rid of this infestation known as ALEC.
There is a lot we could do but it starts with great teachers. A few superstars on every team and everybody wins.

Opinion: Newspapers might get better with Kochs
Not one ounce of integrity left in the writer of this column.

Simons' Saturday Column: Lawrence has lost growth, economic momentum
I voted against the library but the majority approved it. Now it is time to accept it and move on. The decision was made and the investment over 20 years is going forward. It does not do any good to complain all the time.
On the other hand, I believe we need fresh talent and a fresh perspective on how we improve our economy. Those who want to maintain the status quo need to be gone. Change is needed and a younger generation needs to take the city in a new direction.
If we want to be great we have to be ethical. We have to have principals and we have to have a standard that is not corrupted as our state and national politics have become. We need the idealism that comes from the younger generation. I hope they will be educated because this is a community that values above all else, education and great ideas.

Residents upset at theft of American flags from retirement community
I would suggest that you put out something that states if the flags are returned, all is forgiven.
Maybe it was just some teenagers who got a little too carried away. An apology and don't let it happen again would be good enough for me.
