Opinion: What, exactly, was the IRS thinking?
Because in the political climate we live in, it has become par for the course that *some* opinions will be met with punitive actions. Be glad that a removed post is all you have to fear for expressing your own point of view. Beats being audited, smeared, investigated, wire tapped, etc. You must possess the more righteous opinion because your post is still there a day later. Or maybe this "rag" believes in free speech and tolerance - novel concept.

Menard's project highlights city rule on vacant space; a look at how Lawrence ranks in state retail report
The City doesn't want private enterprise like book stores to compete with government enterprises like the unneeded new library.

Automated trash truck
Well now, if this doesn't attract seniors to Lawrence, I don't know what will. The Bingo halls will be full with unemployed trash collectors, anyway.
This should make us the entertainment capital of the county. Woo hoo. Rock on, Larryville.

Maybe the robotic arm can remove the brainiacs that keep finding new ways to shake us down.

Lawrence man faces federal prosecution for stolen handgun
Taking legal, law abiding gun owner's rights away will not prevent any of the scenarios you discuss from happening-
Convicted felons are not allowed to possess firearms. Already. People are not allowed to steal guns- If they are "allowed" , they would not be stealing. Someone would be loaning or giving them a gun.
The already existing laws will not be stronger, even if written in all caps.
Edit- when responded to the 1st comment- the sarcasm nanny part wasn't there- (was it being edited/ added as I typed?) so never mind. move along. nothing to see here.

Should Lawrence be doing more to attract retirees?
9 out of 10 retirees like cheap water bills and low property taxes- so NO- yer running retirees off.

Finding meaningful employment a challenge for those with developmental disabilities
The whole country has limited opportunities- and it's about to be worse. Here is an example of someone who will do the jobs Americans "don't want"- Not only have those jobs been taken by those who are unauthorized to work here, millions more will soon be eligible for the remainder of the jobs- (the ones we do want).
In fact, Americans have always wanted and done all jobs- Jobs "we won't do" were filled by entry level, inexperienced, the challenged, and teenagers.
This young man is very lucky for the support system he has. Good work.
