Another solution- Issue these(at the link below) to senior citizens around town.Pay a 15 dollar bounty for every carcass.In 3 months there won't be stray dangerous dog or feral cat.(never happen,but it worked for coyotes and jackrabbits!)

In a town this size,I understand we won't have the level of care as in Topeka or Wichita.But it seems to me you don't tell a BCBS insured patient to go home 2 hrs after a stroke.The family that arrived to help the person had to hold that person up on each side to walk out.I was told they were sued for the ambulance run when ambulance runs were covered,too.No wonder our services are all in the red.If you can't work with the big insurers in the state,maybe they need to lose money and fend off lawsuits until somebody there figures it out.

Always great to have good people come here.I'm curious about the budget,though.I've heard there has been some help from the state level.But not how much that was,or what tax increases are needed from us.I'd like to think additions to staff are only made when there is a need.So if there is a need,what changed and where are the funds coming from?

Probably not a bad idea at first read,but a big liability to implement.Where does government draw the line on what services to charge extra for? How much? And who is the body that decides? Do you write the laws so a pregnant woman driving herself to the hospital pays a hefty"Dukes of Hazzard Speed Trap Tax"?
Or "Hey Grandma-You coasted down the hill to fast,We're gonna take half your Social Security check."
The speeder's vehicle is taxed.The fuel is taxed.Bread is taxed in Emporia at same rate as caviar.The city and county,and state don't pay any.When was the last time you heard of taxes and fees going down?
A fair and evenhanded fine for speeding is one thing- Beware the government that is failing and turns on its own people.

Having shot many high power 88 rd NRA matches at CCGC,I look forward to this,too! I remember waiting for the deer to clear off the 200 yd targets and pits,greasing the target slides,and blowing snow out of your sights.And seeing good people and their sons and daughters that you only shot with a few times a year...
On the range safety is #1. I'm convinced this range is as safe to the public as driving by a bowling alley.

justthefacts- I made a knee-jerk comment on this earlier,and you're right.Wasn't right in the old days,and it ain't right now.
But it does still happen.He'll do some deserved time,and hopefully get his life turned around.

Wow-like no one else around here has had a couple beers and spun their tires at 1 or 2am.This is such a new and heinous type of modern-day crime that we should all stand on the street corners with pitchforks and burn these heathens at the stake.

I pretty much took the article as "It's a great day in this wonderful country".
Thank you,Adline Hartman, for taking the time to put those feelings into words.
On Happy birthday
