Topeka Docking Building empties as state moves agency
The Docking State Office Building in Topeka has been largely vacated as Alco holic Beverage Control moved to a nearby site. Gov. Brownback’s Administration has urged demolition, but lawmakers oppose because demolition would require relocating a power plant serving the Capitol Area Complex including the Statehouse.

City faces loss of over ten thousand ash trees in Lawrence
Lawrence officials warn more than 10 000 ash trees will die from emerald ash borer over coming years. About 130 infected trees have been removed from city parks and rights of way with a goal to remove 200 by year end. The city plans 1.5 to 1 replanting and injects roughly 350 trees with insecticide to protect remaining trees. Crystal Miles, horticulture and forestry manager, says all ash trees may eventually be infected. The beetle was detected in Douglas County in 2015 and is destroying trees from the inside out.
