Ottawa approves 4.8 million bonds for substation project
Ottawa City commissioners unanimously authorize 4.8 million in bonds to finance a new electrical substation at Montana Road and Labette Terrace. The plan uses Kansas Municipal Energy Agency funds, with no local tax increases, and monthly debt payments of 48 000. The project includes a transmission extension, bond reserves, issuance costs, and contingency. The substation aims to boost growth, reliability, and connect to Kansas City Power and Light, after a prior lawsuit was dismissed.

German appeals court orders retrial for 9-11 convict Motassadeq
The Federal Criminal Court overturned Mounir el Motassadeq’s murder accessory conviction and sent the case back to Hamburg for a new trial. He remains imprisoned for 15 years for aiding the Hamburg al-Qaida cell linked to the 9-11 hijackers. The ruling follows claims of an unfair trial due to the U S denial of witness testimony.
