City commissioner wants state to revoke nightclub's liquor license
shawty2008 - You make some very valid points and also some good suggestions. I do think that if I made the one suggestion I would have been crucified on here by now " 1) no more rap concerts with artists known to have the following of more of a rough crowd.".
Seems like every time something like that is posted the person is deemed just guilty of blaming music, or being racist. Hope you fare better, because that is a good idea. (Along with the others you state.)

Editorial: Guns, speech
"Why would state legislators want to limit the range of viewpoints and information they receive on any measure they are considering?"
Because we will do it THEIR way !!! They know best. Just ask them. Better yet, you probably can't ask them, they will TELL you what to think and how to act. If you dare to ask you will probably be in trouble.
If this doesn't scare people, then then the people of Kansas have no hope.

Two men arrested in connection with Sunday morning shooting
bigpfromlv -
If you truly want some suggestions, here are a couple to start with:
1. Stop with the 18 and up. Drinking age is 21 and you are opening yourself up to violations very easily that way, no matter what your intentions are.
2. Closing time is 2:00. Start closing then. A lot of people do not hang around just for food. You may not serve alcohol, but I bet people are drinking it. If they are smart enough to sneak in a gun they can sneak a drink.
3. Don't try to defend yourself on this forum. No good ever comes of that.
4. Please don't use the lame excuse (the standard line of ALL bars is Lawrence) - We can't control people outside - we don't know if they were even here, etc. There is no other reason for these people to be in that area at that time of the day (not many church services going on). We all know you cannot control people's behavior (even inside), but your club is WHY they are there. Own up to it and try to change the atmosphere of the club, so that these people don't want to come there. Otherwise - SH___U.

Two men arrested in connection with Sunday morning shooting
I am wondering just why someone (multiple someones) were in the bar at 3:40 in the morning.? I know it has been awhile since I have been to any, but last I knew the law was closing time was 2:00.
Seems to me, LPD needs to start checking bars AFTER closing time. I know this isn't the only one it town that operates this way (the other one just doesn't have shootings to attack attention).

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.

Kansas Action for Children files lawsuit against Attorney General Derek Schmidt over settlement records
Short answer - only when he has to (i.e. other people are watching).
