Former Kansas state senator James L. Allen, 68, of Ottawa, died Monday. A dairy farmer turned politician, Allen served 11 years in the Kansas Senate after a term in the Kansas House, then became a lobbyist by founding Jim Allen Associates in Topeka. His son Kevin called him the greatest man in the world and said he shunned attention. Allen, a native Ottawan, attended Ottawa High School, Kansas State University, and left a legacy of listening to others.
Ottawan residents can submit final responses on the 11th and Ash roundabout experiment. Forms are at Ottawa High School, the Franklin County Courthouse, the Ottawa Library, and City Hall. Public works director Andy Haney expects unofficial results to be reviewed by the city commission at their Monday work session.
