Ottawa votes on $25.9 million school bond plan
Ottawa School Board approves a 25.9 million bond to fund land and technology purchases, renovations, and a new elementary school with a 6.5 mill tax hike projected to raise about 78 dollars annually for a 100 000 dollar home. The board also considers buying nearly 11 acres west of Davis Road for 130 000 dollars and combining with seven acres in the industrial park for the new school, amid land-use concerns and opposition from two trustees.

The funds come from a 60,000 plus antitrust settlement aimed at nutrition education and will be split among four pregnancy maintenance centers in Topeka, Shawnee, Kansas City, Kan., and Ottawa. Lifecare Center plans an Earn While You Learn program to provide Baby Bucks for diapers and supplies, with future goals like purchasing an ultrasound machine.

High court rebukes anti-terror tactics in landmark ruling
The Supreme Court rejected the Bush administration's power to seize and detain terrorism suspects without access to courts or lawyers. In 6-3 rulings, detainees may sue to challenge captivity, forcing government scrutiny and potential changes to detention and interrogation policies. The decision opens paths for challenges by hundreds held at Guantanamo Bay and affects cases like Yaser Hamdi.
