Narrow vision Editorials in Lawrence city government
The Lawrence city commission, elected to guide growth, appears disorganized and distracted after more than a year.

It cites initial opposition to the 9 11 Commission, a subsequent 60 day extension, reluctance on a Homeland Security cabinet, funding limits from 2001 to 2003, and later UN involvement in Iraq, asserting selective support for controversy and free speech.
