Simons' Saturday Column: Lawrence has lost growth, economic momentum
The biggest economic problem faced by Lawrence is that it is in Kansas.
Anyone with any sense, and the ability to leave, leave this place. No one with any sense and high-tech business ability would move to this place.
Tax cuts are not as important to high-tech business people as good schools, an educated labor force, and a pro-science environment.
Kansas politicians and "leaders" have been undermining these things for many years, and the chickens are coming home to roost.

Brownback proposes using bioscience funds to pay for adult stem cell center at KU
This is a heavy-handed solution to a "problem" that was created by the Kansas legislature from whole cloth.
The "Midwest Stem Cell Therapy Institute" is a political and ideological move in the culture wars that is all about anti-abortion politics and not about science in the least.
As was mentioned earlier, the Soviets didn't like it that Darwinian evolution by natural selection clashed with their communist ideology, and so banished all Darwinian scientists to Siberia, and installed Lysenko and his ideas of Lamarckian inheritance as the "official" Soviet position.
It really is remarkable how Lysenko's ideas now dominate evolutionary science (not).
With this ideological shot in the anti-abortion culture war, Kansas furthers the risk of irrelevance in the eyes of science and medicine, just like the Soviets of a century ago.

Opinion: Obama affirmed Bush’s anti-terror strategy
Let us not forget that the Iraq war was a war of choice.
Evidence was constructed by the Bush administration to justify the invasion of Iraq.
Obama has carefully brought to an end the war of choice that Bush started by lying to the American people and manufacturing justifications.
Bush anti-terror "strategy" was to choose to invade a country that had nothing to do with the September 11 attacks.

Brownback signs into law bill establishing adult stem cell research and treatment at KU Medical Center
This is a shameful shot across the bow in the culture wars involving abortion politics. Science and medicine were not motivations for this. Rather, anti-abortion politics.
Another base, shameful act from the Kansas legislature.
And no money to pay for it to boot!

Brownback, Gray-Little say stable state funding important to KU's efforts to improve
KU should become a private institution and free itself from the shackles of the anti-education ideologues n the Kansas legislature. It could be done if the lands and buildings were donated, and tuition was increased a bit.
The state would never need to give KU another dime, and KU would be free of these knuckle-draggers in the legislature.

KU officials dispute cash balance list circulated by House Republican leaders who want to cut higher ed
"“But I would like to see the universities look at all their funding options, not just always automatically going to students and taxpayers," Rhoades said."
But I would like to see businesses look at their revenue options, not just always automatically going to higher prices for customers and looking for tax breaks.
