City health services switch tied to Bremby family ties denied
City officials say a health services reallocation to Mt. Oread Family Practice, part of the Columbia/HCA complex in southwest Lawrence, was not influenced by Assistant City Manager Rod Bremby despite his wife’s partnership. City Manager Wildgen says Bremby was not involved in the decision or review, and no conflict of interest is seen as long as he did not participate. LMH remains non profit and city owned while the private center expands with leased space and potential future services.

Wrights win $112000 more for property condemnation
Richard and Sherryl Wright win a 427000 judgment from Douglas County District Court after three years of wrangling over their half acre lot at 33rd and Iowa in Lawrence. The city already paid 315000 last year for a frontage road project near Wal Mart and taxpayers will cover the verdict as part of the overall road work. The Wrights may appeal though a new house would cost up to 650000 across the street for their business.
