Ottawa City officials blame The Herald for a publication error that removed a phrase in a legal notice, causing the Kansas Department of Commerce and Housing to decline $400,000 in federal funds for handicapped access at City Hall and the Ottawa Public Library. City Manager Dave Warren urges re submission with matching funds and tighter review by the clerk’s office.
