He is only 6% black and has more moslem in him , and will take his oath on the Koran Bible as he did in congress. He doesn't believe in our Bible or our God..

OK people he has only 6% black and is mostly Arab for the rest, so lets see if he takes the oath on the Bible or refuses.

Well we don't have to worry about our militay getting to vote, they haven't even been sent ballots yet and it takes 30 days to get them sent there and another 30 to get them back. So much for everyone getting to vote this time around.

If you don't like the two on the ballot than go look on line at the others that you can vote for.

Emporia, stop the crying and just raise the sales tax it is the best way for everyone. Look at all the other towns around you they pay more taxes and they are still doing fine. Yates Center pays $8.05 so what are you crying about. I moved from Emporia because of the property taxes being so high, I saved over $200.00 on my car taxes the yr I moved. Yes I pay 0.85% more sales tax now but I have more choices as to where I spend my money. Gas and property taxes are less too. Years ago Emporia just didn't want to go with the flo of things growing and now they are paying for it. Emporia was siting on a Gold mine with the interstate and the turnpike running thu but the older ones didn't want the change and now look where Emporia is. I have heard from the grape vines that Emporia is a great place to start a new life if you are coming from a Foreign country. I have heard that so many times here when I say I'm from Emporia. I never thought my home town would be know for that.

I am sorry to hear that the Star is not going to be available to Emporia all week. I enjoy my paper every morning. I was born and raised in Emporia 49 yrs ago and moved in 2001. I was able to read some of the Emporia paper online and really liked it, but now I can not see the complete deaths online and I think this is another way Emporia is moving backwords instead of ahead. So I just go to Kansas Newspapers online and I can see them in the Topeka or Wichita paper. Also i can see Burlington, Peabody you name it I can see all the deaths , but no not Emporia you have to pay to read the whole thing. If Emporia wants to grow they need to start going with the times. I thought one day I would come back to my Home town and live my life out and be buried there but no thanks ,by that time Emporia will be just a ghost town. I will stay where I am ,where everything is cheaper to live and wages are better.

Fazol's is great I eat there 2-3 times a month in Shawnee,Ks They are thinking about opening one in Leavenworth, Ks. It seems like that town and area is growing fast. They are getting a new big Wal-Mart along with another big prison up that way. Leavenworth is the oldest city in Kansas and still growing, what is their secret?
