Kansas and local reviews clash over historic environs rules
The state limits state review to projects directly affecting listed properties within 500 feet, while Lawrence keeps a tighter 250 foot local environs review. Officials say downtown Lawrence, a national historic district, will still trigger state reviews, and local actors push for added properties to join the Lawrence Register for potential tax incentives. Nearby cities urged reform, stressing local control over preservation guidelines.

Science standards ignite debate over evolution and Common Core
Kansas lawmakers and education officials clash over new science standards and the Common Core. Critics argue evolution is presented as fact and fear religious indoctrination, while supporters praise alignment with reading and math. Citizens for Objective Public Education cite atheistic implications and federal intrusion, while others praise uniform, rigorous goals for military families.
