Five Kansas legislators spoke with students at Kansas University about budget cuts to education and gun laws, stressing support for K-12 and higher education funding. They opposed expanding concealed carry, citing local home rule and the need for universal background checks and mental health services. Audience questions covered drones, in-state military tuition, and textbook sales tax.
The city uses 14 standard trucks but has two automated units. one is in service and the other used for driver training. Pruett estimates eight fully automated trucks are needed for residential collection, with curbside recycling starting in October 2014 using the same fleet. Three new trucks have been ordered for recycling, each costing about $90,000 more than traditional units, and each carries a single driver. The program aims to reduce heavy lifting and injuries, though some attrition may trim staff temporarily. Residents may see trucks on streets twice daily due to single-side pickup, and routes are being tweaked while keeping collection days unchanged. Residents are asked to have trash out by 7 a.m. and carts three feet from obstructions.
Lawrence fell from No 99 to No 178 in a year in a nine-category report. Only Ithaca Great Falls and Hot Springs had sharper declines. The city did not crack the top 100 in any category with five-year and one-year job wage and high tech GDP growth figures listed.
Lawrence placed 178th, near the bottom of Milken Institute's ranking of small metro area economic performance. Kansas City and Wichita appeared in the large metro list, ranked 104 and 146 respectively, while Topeka also showed on the Kansas list at 144. City leaders plan a comprehensive plan review and a new capital campaign to boost development.
The wage figures date back to 2010, and officials say there are signs of improvement since then, citing rising sales tax numbers as evidence of progress in the local economy.

Kibbee Farmstead at 1500 Haskell Ave in Lawrence was also added to the Register.
Budget Kansas Action for Children warns the KEY endowment should reach 216 million, noting it stands at 1.165 million. Cotso radis says this time differs as Brownback’s tax cuts deepen revenue loss.
