City approves ballot question for police headq uarters
Lawrence city commissioners unanimously approved a Nov 4 ballot question to raise 0.2 percent sales tax to fund a new police headquarters. The nearly $28 million project would be paid off if tax revenue outpaces projections, with a nine year sunset and possible early end if bonds are paid. Mayor Amyx urged voters to participate as the campaign begins, stressing the price range is manageable.
