City to consider $50k offer to resolve Varsity House dispute
More than likely the commission will accept his offer, but Fritzel should not have a part in deciding where the money goes with all of the things he's pulled. This commission has no backbone. Fritzel and Compton continue to have their way with these commissioners.

City allows fake grass at apartments
Kudos to Bob for voting against this. Some developers have always gotten what they have wanted through the years from Billings, Fritzel, to Compton.

Westar aims to prevent outages with tree-trimming program
Butcher is a good description of what Wright does to the trees. The flyer Westar gave us states they will remove tree cuttings, but Wright left large limbs in yards throughout our neighborhood. The neighbors did not ask Wright to leave these limbs, but that was Wright's excuse for leaving the limbs.

Former Lawrence police Chief Ron Olin to leave $115,000 job at Kansas Athletics
The AD grew significantly under Perkins, some of those positions were needed, but several were not. I hope this is a result of Zenger getting rid of positions that aren't necessary.

South Lawrence Trafficway fatal accident victim is from Lyndon
The truck driver definitely should be charged with something! Truck drivers hauling any kind of material or debris should be required to make sure it is secured.

Town Talk: Development group to seek city help on Masonic Temple; city commissioner proposes closed-door meeting with business leaders; downtown parking subject of meeting next week
Compton has plenty of money to update the Temple without assistance from the city. He could use the money he receives from the special tax district on his development near Free State High School.

Another downtown property owner expresses concerns about late-night food cart operations
I don't have a problem with the late night food cart.
Compton should use some of the money he is getting from the special tax district on his properties by Free State High School to subsidize the downtown businesses that are in his buildings.
