Kansas House backs Oz park incentives for Johnson County
The Kansas House advanced a bill offering incentives for a Wizard of Oz theme park if located in Johnson County. It would require a Wyandotte County payment of 1.5 million if set outside that county. The measure allows star revenue bonds using sales tax to fund part of the 585 million park near De Soto. Wyandotte lawmakers oppose, citing hundreds of thousands in studies funded locally.

Douglas County mulls separate juvenile agency
Douglas County advisory board recommends creating a dedicated juvenile service agency. The plan would place about 65 juveniles under a single county system, housed at the Northeast Kansas Juvenile Detention Center in North Lawrence, with county commission approval still required. The proposal aims to provide a one stop shop for families and services, replacing fragmented access. Sheriff Loren Anderson questioned the need, while law enforcement and a district judge stayed neutral.
