Narcotics, Alcohol Use Ties to Local Crime Patterns In Jail
Local jail inmates booked on alcohol or drug charges show consistency over weeks. June 28 had 17 in custody, down from a week earlier. June 11 had 23, and May 9 had 17. Officials note many crimes tie to alcohol or drugs, though not all are drug related. Some offenders face multiple charges, and substances can drive deadly or nonviolent incidents.

Kohl's sales tax deal eyed to fund Garden City project
Garden City officials discuss a tax increment plan to fund 900000 dollars of Kohl's store improvements via a .75 percent share of the city’s 6.65 percent sales tax. If Kohl's meets revenue targets, the city would repay the investment within about nine years, enabling up to 13.3 million dollars in annual sales. Commissioners remain divided, with Mayor Wharton opposing the deal and others weighing broader benefits, including increased employment and tourism. The plan ties to street work and does not require upfront payments until tax receipts arrive. Other agenda items include zoo master plan discussions and a KDOT cooperative study for U.S. 50/400.
