Lawrence Officials Push To Resume Police Contract Talks
Lawrence officials plan to reopen negotiations with the city police union after the group overwhelmingly rejected the latest offer over the weekend. Union chairman Dave Reavis says only a few modifications are needed to survive the next vote, with officer sentiment to be polled in days. The rejected package included a longevity pay of 2.75 dollars per month per year after six years. Firefighters’ contract talks are also pending a vote.
