Open records doubt over FEDC donation impact on school bond issue
Kansas AG offered no opinion on the donation to an advocacy group promoting a school bonds measure. Wheeler says no clear ruling exists. FEDC may be subject to both the Open Records Act and Open Meetings Act if it performs governmental functions, given its public funding and size.

Ulysses man on trial for alleged attack on teen
Marie Dixon testified that a stranger attacked her on a golf course driving range, pulled a gun, and threatened to shoot as she bargained to be spared. She described the assailant and vehicle, leading investigators to Fischer, who was arrested hours later. The trial moved from Syracuse to Salina to avoid tainting jurors with prior newspaper mentions. Fischer had prior convictions including murders in 1976 and a 1996 choking case.
