Study: Kansas' smoking ban hasn't affected business in restaurants, bars
I too would like to know why STATE RUN casinos are exempt.. What about the health of the workers at the casino? Their lives are not worth as much as restaurant/bar workers? What about tabacco shops? They still allow smoking there. We need more stringent regulation NOW!!

Fritzel breaks silence on proposed Rock Chalk Park deal, says he won't profit from the KU sports complex
Hey all you posters that think Thomas Fritzel is going to make out like a bandit, why don't you step up to the plate and do the same thing he is proposing? If the man is willing, why not let him do it? If he makes a dollar who cares? Lawrence will be the big winner, if you are afraid he is going to get stacks of money for his proposal.... jump on the opportunity and match his generous offer.

Town Talk: Chocolate store coming to downtown; Olive Garden project still on the ropes; Poehler building to seek financial incentives from city
But why give them 600K in tax breaks? If they want to come, let them. But please do not pay them to come, pay them with your $$ when you go to eat there not with our tax dollars.

Fair deal?
The city needs to make MD development clean up that corner that they have been sitting on for these past four years! It is "blighted" because of their own inaction. Taxpayers should not have to "chip in" to help these out of town developers!

Maybe Lawrence could put a toll booth on every exit out of town.......

I agree and if one does the math it would be 365 people a day (with a 15 dollar per person average) (according to OG) that would suddenly decide to eat out !

St. John's Fiesta celebrates Mexican food, culture
So is McDonalds responsible for cleaning up the bags I see in my parking lot? Or is KFC to clean the park when I see the garbage left behind at a picnic table? Just curious.

Topeka man sentenced to 17 years in prison for robbing Lawrence convenience store
Are you referring to Mr. Simons? Dolph Simons is with the LJW. I think Mr. Simmons makes mattresses.
