Menninger comes to Emporia
Wednesday is the deadline for reservations for “An Evening with Dr. Walt Menninger,” a benefit for the William Allen White State Historic Site.
Menninger, a third generation member of one of America’s leading medical families, will speak on “Memory and History: Remembering it the way it ‘wasn’t.’” Tickets for the April 25 event at Emporia’s Granada Theatre cost $50 per person and include dinner and the program.
Checks should be made payable to WAW Community Partnership and mailed to WAWCPI, 927 Exchange St., Emporia KS 66801.
Tie goes to ‘no’
If Emporia’s question on the smoking ban comes to a tie Friday, the no vote will win, according to state statute.
Kansas State Statute 25-3108 states that “In the case of a question submitted election a tie vote shall never be deemed to have occurred, and if there are the same number of ‘yes’ votes as ‘no’ votes, the ‘no’ vote shall have prevailed unless otherwise provided by law.”
The complete statute can be located at http://www.kslegislature.org/legsrv-statutes/getStatuteFile.do?number=/25-3108.html.
“If it is a tie, the no vote wins the question,” Lyon County Attorney Marc Goodman said Wednesday.
