Why haven't any charges been filed against the person he was defending his home against. Shouldn't the same charges be filed against him or at least burglary or something?

Good God Happiness, pull your head out ! ! ! This case was investigated and apparently they found that there was not enough evidence to go to trial. I'm sure Mr. Swafford has suffered enough through this ordeal and I'm glad it's over and went in his favor. I believe justice was served in this case. The man was defending HIS home, that's a constitutional right.

I agree completely Ms. Symmonds. If Lowes wants to come to Emporia, fine, let them come. Let's even let them build where they are proposing to do so, but let's also DEMAND that they pay their own way. I'd be curious to know, how much the City of Emporia has helped Mark II Lumber, Sutherlands, Bluestem Farm & Ranch, or Waters True Value. I would just about bet it was not to the tune of 7 million bucks. These business had to pay their own way. I can assure you if the commission passes this, the only one that will get my vote in the future is Julie Johnson who voted against it.

Marty did our wedding cake on 7/7/07. She did an AWESOME job and had the most reasonable prices of anyone in the Emporia area.

The only person to blame in this situation is Chad Wing. HE made the decision to do the drugs. HE is using them as an excuse for what HE did. The mother in this situation works 2 jobs to help provide for her family. She loves her kids as well as his and treats them as her own.

There is NO excuse for what happend and I think Mr. Wing should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Let's leave the blame where it should be and hope for a fast recovery for this poor girl and the rest of this family ! ! !

I still say, lets fill up some of our empty buildings we have in town. I realize the area where Big Lots used to sit isn't big enought for the whole developement they are wanting to bring in, but it is big enough for Lowes, and the 2 restaraunts they are talking about building could go in the old Pizza Hut and Popeye's chicken. Plus Emporia seems to have plenty of houses on the market. Let's try to use some of what we've already go instead of building new.

I think IF Lowes does come in, it would hurt Sotherlands, Mark II, Bluestem, and True Value. Would bringing in Lowes really create jobs or would we end up with even more people unemployed because this store hurt others that are already here.

Doesn't seem to me like this is better for the city of Emporia at all, it appears the only people this would possibly help are the developers.

What about the empty land at the OTHER end of Industrial. The whole area where Big Lots was at sits empty. Why not look at this area that is already zoned for the use they want, AND it would clean up an existing eye sore
