Ohio polls place Ken Blackwell a strong primary favorite as he battles incumbent party strains. He argues for limited government, tax relief, and constitutional spending caps while courting black voters and conservatives. Strickland faces a culturally liberal-leaning district with mixed votes, and Ohio’s race could shape Senate control and the 20 electoral votes in 2008.

Lawrence planning panel urged against mall rezoning
Lawrence Douglas County planning staff urged planning commissioners to vote against rezoning for a regional shopping mall in southwest Lawrence. The Kansas Board of Regents was expected to approve selling 1 million dollars in revenue bonds to finance a new Kansas University Medical Center library. A city council plan to improve Oread Avenue and Hancock Street on Mount Oread was outlined with about 1300 dollars for paving a 30 foot wide street. A 10 percent dividend was declared in the estate of Mary E. Cawthorne, a Lawrence milliner who faced bankruptcy after leaving town.
