Lawrence voters on November 4 face a sales tax proposal to fund a roughly $28 million police headquarters. A new citizens group, Friends of Lawrence Police Inc, has filed papers to act as a local political action committee to raise funds and run advertising in support of the measure.
Chad Taylor's campaign denies rumors he will withdraw from the U S Senate race. Campaign manager Brandon Taylor says he absolutely will not drop out after Taylor won a close Democratic primary on August 5 to face incumbent Republican Pat Roberts. Independent Greg Orman has suggested he is the viable challenger, fueling chatter ahead of election coverage.
A nostalgic column recalls Lawrence in earlier years when the city and KU inspired pride and growth. It notes a shift to a less dynamic mood, loss of cooperative spirit, and diminished appeal for business and site selection, contrasting past leadership with present attitudes.
The piece argues Lawrence and KU must unite for growth, naming campus turmoil, the cornfield mall, South Iowa Street, the South Lawrence Trafficway, and Rock Chalk Park as sources of discord. It calls for visionary leadership and a community focus beyond self interest to restore progress and excellence.
