Garden City to revisit liquor ordinance penalties
Garden City Commission will fine tune a proposed liquor and beer sale to minors ordinance after shop owners raised concerns about penalties. Three offense suspensions could reach a year, with three days for a first offense and up to a year for a second. Chamber president Steve Dyer urged reasonable penalties. Sunrise Spirits owner Bill Matheson argued the draft is overly prohibitive and could force closures.

Garden City Arts urged the city to sell the former American Legion building for conversion into a public art gallery. Executive board member Jeffrey Weeast predicted the gallery could open within three to six months and warned the city could reclaim the building after six months if no action was taken. He emphasized rapid progress and envisioned a three-stage plan starting with the upstairs gallery and including flooring and cleaning work.

Senate takes final run at averting default and shutdown
Senate leaders move to craft a bipartisan plan to avert a Treasury default and reopen the government as House conservatives fail a last bid. The plan would extend borrowing authority into February and reopen at least until mid January while markets and Fitch weigh the risk of a downgrade. President Obama and Treasury officials warn of severe consequences if action is not taken by Thursday.
