County race hinges on style in Douglas County race
In the 1st District county commission race Douglas County voters face two unlikely differences in approach more than goals as Democrat Lisa Blair and Republican Mark Buhler spar over growth planning personal property rights and tax options. Both back the South Lawrence Trafficway with Blair favoring routing tweaks and Buhler arguing fiscal feasibility. Blair positions Downtown Lawrence Inc. and anti racism groups, Buhler leverages real estate ties and incumbency. Local observers see voters basing choice on style and perceived planning competence rather than stark policy splits.
