Utility revenue talks shape Lawrence Kansas power franchise
Lawrence and Emporia share the Kansas Power and Light grid with the Kansac Electric Power Company. Officials discuss a renegotiation offering the city 3 percent of gross revenues from local electric sales, potentially boosting the treasury by about 13 200 annually, while current terms would yield 10 954. Both cities seek better terms as rates and service terms are debated amid ongoing franchise discussions stemming from the 1947 agreement.
