Kan-ed funding and future debated in Kansas
Kan-ed, once 25 cents per line and now 17 cents, drew sharp criticism in the 2011 session as telecom and cable firms argued it competes with the private sector. Cuts to 6 million this year sparked a study on Kan-ed’s future form and funding. Kansas Board of Regents leader Andy Tompkins urged clearer direction while educators and librarians defend its value for telemedicine and student access during the economic slump.

Lawrence rec center options split over scope and cost
The Parks and Recreation board reviews late October plans for a new center with options ranging from a traditional recreation center to a fieldhouse or wellness facility. Architect John Wilkins outlined six, five, or four gym configurations varying from 20 million to 15 million dollars, with annual operating costs of about 500 thousand dollars and four new full time staff. Funding may come from reallocating funds from existing city projects, avoiding tax increases.
