County budget plan would keep mill levy flat for 2024
Douglas County proposes a 194 million dollar budget for 2024 with a mill levy near 46.219, essentially unchanged from 2023. County Administrator Sara Plinsky says the commission asked for a flat mill levy, though overall tax bills may rise with increasing assessed valuations. Budget hearings are set at the Douglas County Courthouse.

Pitt State to grant two year degrees after 60 hours
Pittsburg State University will automatically confer an associate degree after students complete about 60 hours toward their four year program. President Dan Shipp says hundreds may be surprised by news that they have earned a degree even as they continue toward their bachelor’s. The Kansas Board of Regents approved the program in June to allow this automatic two year general studies degree.
