Budget provision would block state funding for Common Core standards

chootspa - I understand your point, but you are forgetting one thing. You have to have reps that CARE what actual people say. With this group, unless you spout "Christian", ALEC, or C of C, they won't listen. (Oh, unless you can somehow tie it to carrying a weapon.)

Bid for recreation center comes in about $10 million lower than expected; questions grow over other cost estimates

" Fritzel did what the agreement was with EVERY development over there."

EXCEPT pay the taxes he/they owe on the property. But I guess I missed that class in my education.

OK. Maybe I am confused here (my wife would say that happens often). Is the City not committed to spending all of the $25 Million ?? So if the building comes in cheaper, the rest just goes to the "infrastructure", doesn't it ???

Organized labor calls current Legislature one of the worst

Personally, I didn't need Organized Labor to tell this is the worst Legislature. I figure that out on my own through this AND other ____ they have done.

But I am pro union, and this Legislature is a prime example as to why (some) of them are needed.

Two KU students arrested in connection with break-in at Memorial Stadium

"..... and consumption of alcohol by a minor" What !!!????? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you !!!

Andini probably had the best idea. Or, an off-take of that - as their punishment they have to sit in that seat in the stadium during the games. The entire game and no alcohol !!!

Good for KAC. If there was a way to check you would find lots of other funds that have been directed to shore up this budget, not just this one.

And just think, the AG's office is the group who teaches on KORA/KOMA. Kind of makes you go Hhhmmmmmmmm.

Wicked Broadband project seeks $500,000 city grant; downtown hotel project seeks adjustment to incentives package; historical society seeks $20k for new exhibit

And why is it, that if the City wants to show it's "committed", it has to come with a $500,000 check -and ONLY to this guy ??? I think committed might be the correct word if the City goes for this, but with a slightly different meaning.

Republicans push through proposal blocking the desires of advocates for the developmentally disabled

deec- you don't understand. This Administration is G-O-D, and they will do what they want, when they want, and how they want - as long as it only causes damage the weak, poor, and not-friends of the Gov. The Justice Department ??? Hah !! that is just part of the Fed Government that this state doesn't care about (they don't pass out funds and subsidies).
