County rejects LINK funding for wheelchair lift request
Douglas County Commission on Wednesday denied a Lawrence agency's request for 2500 to install a wheelchair lift at the First Christian Church basement meal site. LINK has raised 9000 toward a 15000 goal by June 15. Ben Behr praised the effort but the board cited limited funds and external scope constraints, while budget hearings proceeded for 1992.
