KU consultants savings spark transparency debate
A University Senate report on consultant payments found savings from an efficiency push and questioned the lack of detail in contracts. It says total consulting fees exceeded $9.1 million, with redacted documents and non disclosure agreements hindering full disclosure. The probe also questions a Provost Fund Swap practice and discusses legislative interest in statewide efficiency efforts.

Rapid trial expansion linked to longer jail time in Douglas County
Former Kansas Sen. Jeff King and Sen. Roth pushed a 150 day speedy trial measure to curb lab delays and missed deadlines. Since 2014 the Douglas County Jail population rose from 138 to 238 as cases take longer, with 12.8 percent of felony cases pending over a year in 2017. County voters may face a half cent sales tax for a $44 million jail expansion.
