Slattery backs federal help for Lawrence bypass plan
U S Rep Jim Slattery said he sought federal funds for a 14.3 mile, 38 million bypass after local officials unanimously supported it. He told Douglas County residents opposing the project that the decision is local and he will ensure the environmental review meets requirements. About a dozen residents including former mayor Marci Francisco pressed for a delay until voters decide. Federal funds totaling 10 million are tied to an authorization bill stalled in Congress. Slattery stressed his role is to aid local goals, not second guess officials. No county officials attended the meeting.

Other groups, including Luncheon Optimists and American Legion Post 14, also operated tree stands at Hillcrest and Gibson’s parking lots respectively.
