Public Meeting Set on Wellsville Vicious Dog Ordinance
Wellsville officials rescheduled a public meeting about the breed specific vicious dog ban to 6 p.m. July 30 at City Hall 411 Main St. The change follows a court session and stems from concerns voiced by Lisa Roberts and supporters about breed specific legislation. Ottawa commissioners discussed rescinding their pit bull ban but took no action after deliberations.

Analyst blames policy changes for Kansas tax shortfall
A policy analyst from the Rockefeller Institute says Kansas revenues fell sharply in April and May due to legislated tax changes, not federal tax issues. The Wichita Eagle notes the Revenue Department cited the analyst but did not include findings linking Brownback tax plan to the declines, which they attribute to a one time 2013 event and capital gains.
