Trucks running over west Emporia intersections

Just out of curosity.....might this be a problem because the same moron designed it as the one who designed our wonderful round-a-bout by the turnpike entrance? Next time ask somebody who DOESN'T sit behind a desk how to design a road!

New charge is filed in shooting

alfalfa: Thanks for all the laughs......I do totally believe you though. Like you said "our animal control can't handle a dog". That has been my experience with them too.

New charges filed

Or perhaps he just didn't want to look like a fool after filing murder charges without enough evidence to make it stick. Now he's trying to "save face".

New charges filed

As I said yesterday. Good God! Is this for real! And I'll repeat my statement about "If this is how our local law enforcement works then I"M SCARED". I think it's time to oust Mark Goodman. He clearly has his own agenda.

Swafford charge dismissed

Whatever happened to INNOCENT TILL PROVEN GUILTY? Has that been changed to GUILTY TILL WE HAVE THE EVIDENCE TO PROVE YOU INNOCENT?

Swafford charge dismissed

Maybe what this says to all of us is that our legal system needs to be "revamped". I understand that preliminary hearings are to establish whether or not there is enough evidence to take the case to trial. What doesn't make sense to me is that we file charges, and then figure out what the evidence is. Isn't that the same thing as counting your chickens before the egg hatches, or putting the cart before the horse?

Swafford charge dismissed

shocarguy: The point was.....Shouldn't they know whether there is enough evidence to file murder charges BEFORE they file them? This sounded like Gee you shot somebody, so we'll file murder charges. Then they get the facts and figure out it was self defense. I take charging someone with murder very seriously. That is not something you change your mind about. I can't imagine the hell this guy and his family have went through over this.

Swafford charge dismissed

Good God! Is this for real! They charged somebody with murder and then dropped the charge??? I'd like to know who is was that filed the charge before the case was even investigated. If this is how our local law enforcement works then I'M SCARED!

Mental-Health programs losing support money

I have personally had a lot of contact with the Mental Health Center. It takes months to get in their for an appointment. Then when you do it is for an "intake" appointment. After that you are put on a waiting list for a counselor. And....after that you are again put a waiting list for medication clinic. A person in crisis would be dead before you could be seen there. Then....once you do make it through there whole process to get what you need they close your chart out if you are not seen every three months, so you can start all over again with the intake process. Completely stupid!! Like mental illness is going to go away in three months. Their whole system is inefficient.
