Tyson proposal for meatplant faces conflict questions
Tyson Foods seeks a 325 million plant south of Tonganoxie with sewer extension of 1.3 million. Mayor Ward, a Shook, Hardy & Bacon attorney, says he asked for conflict opinions and awaits guidance. CAPS opposes the project citing secrecy. City Council and Leavenworth County must vote on infrastructure, tax abatement, and zoning for ~300 acres near the turnpike.

Lawrence considers trucking nitrogen contaminated water to fields
Lawrence officials bid to truck and apply nitrogen contaminated water site testing will rise to monthly as KDHE requires containment during a six month pump hiatus. The city faces a funding shortfall on the cleanup plan after purchasing the 467 acre Farmland site in 2010 with a cleanup trust, with bids due Friday for the trucking and land application contract.

Kansas health survey shows rising uninsured rates in state
The Census Kansas Health Institute reports Kansans face higher uninsured rates, linked to Kansas not expanding Medicaid under the ACA and weak enrollment in options. Urban districts like Wichita and Kansas City show higher rates, while the 2nd District around Lawrence fares better. GOP candidates for 2018 split on Medicaid expansion. Dems support expansion with conditions.
