Lawrence commissioners weigh a two, three, or four person limit on unrelated residents in central city neighborhoods. KU students oppose limits that could displace up to 6000 students while advocates argue the change would curb noise and property neglect. A final decision is sought soon as discussions continue with landlords and residents.

Alterra care centers face state sanctions and criticism
Alterra Health Care facilities in Kansas face multiple state actions amid reports of safety lapses and patient weight loss. KDHE fined Sterling House Liberal $10,000 and barred new admissions after falls, while Lenexa beds, Salina admissions, and Pratt showings drew warnings. Despite some praise from residents, regulators note frequent surveys and ongoing concerns as lawmakers weigh tighter rules.
