City planners discuss landscaping costs and future rules
Commission Chairman Steve Van Ostran said landscaping upkeep may be less costly than suggested and could beautify the city with limited sprinkler use. A policy limiting landscaping to a share of total project cost was proposed. Two special-use permit hearings are set for Feb. 12 at City Hall for a salvage yard at 301 W. Wilson and for public storage buildings at 1112 N. Main, with visibility concerns noted.

Budget clash as lawmakers dispute fee diversion to general fund
O'Neal and other Republicans say the budget bill illegally diverts fee revenue from specified purposes to general government programs. The measure would reimburse the state general fund for services, a claim O'Neal calls a flat out lie and fraud. A rally of about 300 local officials pressed lawmakers to reject the $48 million aid withholding. Separately, tribes proposing a Wyandotte casino vowed profits sharing if protected from competition.
