Trafficway shift may cut parkway funds
Kansas Department of Transportation plans to reroute the South Lawrence Trafficway could raise total costs to 59.2 million with a local share exceeding 3 million. The plan shifts funding toward Eastern Parkway and faces criticism from a city commissioner and Downtown Lawrence Inc. leader. Local funding would rely on 3.3 million in federal money, while state funds may cover 11 to 12 million, leaving a substantial gap. Officials note the change blocks completion of the parkway without broader funding.

Budget plan holds tax line
City Manager Mike Wildgen unveiled the 1993 city budget with no tax increases and no major boost in city services. The proposal keeps the property tax rate at 28.17 mills, while growth in base revenues funds some expansion. Minor new costs include three sanitation workers, a housing coordinator, a transportation engineer, and a city employee nurse.

Impasse Declared In Lawrence Teacher Negotiations
Lawrence teachers and the school board declared impasse in salary talks for the 1992-93 year after failed negotiations. A Federal mediation official will be assigned, with a fact finder possible if mediation fails. The LEA proposed a 9.95 percent salary increase, down from 13.75 percent, while the board kept a 6.95 percent offer. The district states the offer balances priorities amid rising student numbers and a $2.6 million state-aid shortfall, funding eight new teachers and restored paraprofessional staffing to 1990-91 levels.

Yeltsin Gains Cautious Support From G Seven Aid Pledge
In Munich Boris Yeltsin pressed for more aid and a moratorium on Russia's 70 billion dollar foreign debt after meeting Bush and other leaders. He called the talks benevolent and said he was satisfied with the conversations as the G seven endorsed a 24 billion IMF backed package, with no breakthrough on farm subsidy issues.
