Endowment plans face taxpayer questions on KU complex
Lawrence residents weigh the Kansas University Endowment Association plan for a large athletic complex at Sixth Street and the South Lawrence Trafficway. The endowment would fund a recreation center, softball and track facilities, and city parks while retaining final say on construction and the contractor. Critics worry about loss of city control and potential conflicts with a single bidder, targeting a $25 million purchase for facilities valued at about $33 million. A public meeting is set for 8 p.m. Thursday at Free State High School to address these concerns.

Reagan and Clinton shaped America’s social contract again
Charles Krauthammer argues Reaganism ended liberal ascendancy and Obama sought a new liberal ascendancy. He credits Nixon and Bush with expanding liberal policies, while Obama’s attempts to reform health care education and energy expand government. Romney and Ryan could reverse this by restoring restraint and reform, redefining the citizen state balance.
