Retailers oppose sales tax switch delaying plan in Kansas
At a Lawrence meeting Kansas leaders urged staying the course as retailers confronted a complex system with 751 taxing jurisdictions. Wagnon said the proposal could confuse and burden stores while Boise Hess warned the kinks may shutter local shops. Officials outlined costs for updating software and a department booklet to guide tax rate calculations.

Residential project near Farmland site eyed for 40k lots
Lawrence Douglas County Planning commissioners will review a preliminary plan Sept 24 for 62 acres of mixed use development on Farmland property east of O’Connell Road. The plan zones 23 acres for duplexes, 9 for single family homes, 23 for apartments and offices, with about 100 duplex and single family units and no retail. The developers also own 125 acres south of Highway 10 planned for a future retail center to attract a grocery store. Eastside Acquisitions paid 5.8 million in May for two Farmland parcels amid bankruptcy proceedings. Farmland seeks a buyer for a 467 acre fertilizer plant north of Highway 10.

Wall Street sees rate decision spark price drop not inflation
The Fed cut rates to 1 percent in June for the 13th time since 2000, the lowest since 1958, then signaled a prolonged policy ailing bond markets. Treasury yields fluctuated, while labor weakness deepened with payroll cuts for a seventh straight month totaling about 500,000 jobs. President Bush pushed a third tax-cut round to counter attacks on job growth ahead of next year’s election. Analysts say the Fed aims to reassure markets while facing political pressure to lower unemployment.
