Court rules for used carpet store in sign clash
Lawrence Municipal Court found a key part of the city sign ordinance unconstitutional in a dispute with Big Bob's Used Carpets. The ruling allows the store at 738 N.H. to keep its red white and blue striped wall paint as a sign while city officials plan a study session to clarify the ordinance. Owner David Elyachar called the decision uplifting, but city officials will continue enforcing current rules in other cases. The decision labels the sign provision as overbroad and vague, potentially affecting other cases and prompting a push for guidance from the Lawrence City Commission.

Wolf Creek Project Costs Cut by State Utility Board
The Kansas Corp Commission tentatively excludes about 2.17 billion of the 3.05 billion Wolf Creek nuclear plant costs from rates, allowing depreciation for tax purposes at 3.4 percent over 30 years. KG&E and KCPL seek 508.9 million in higher rates. KEPCO holds 6 percent. A conservation rate also targets small users with a 40 percent cut for lower-use residential customers, and KG&E service charges rise to 7.60 dollars monthly. The commission will draft an order and reconvene in a week for final decisions.
