Did the Zoning Commissioners give any reasons for their various votes? If so, why were those reasons not reported in the article? If not, how can they claim government in the sunshine?

As I recall, the old KP&L had a power substation located at Teterville. The only KP&L employee that I know is still living that could give you more information is Gene Daharsh (sp ?) who was the store keeper in Emporia when I was a kid working there.

When I read "where she's at" I thought: "What the heck, "my friend and me" seems to be acceptable today, why not "where she's at."

Wow. Cheryl has hit another home-run. Half way through the article I could smell the saw dust.

As a consultant to municipalities across the country, I have noticed a shared characteristic. The quality of a City's residential rental stock is directly related to the quality of the main street business buildings. That is, when the leadership of a muncipality tolerates residential slum-lords it will also tolerate commercial slum-lords. As I drove down Commerical Street during my last visit to Emporia, it was evident that Emporia has a thriving residential slum-lord contingent that probably also controls City hall. However, it should be noted that this blight on Emporia's growth potential is no different than what existed some fifty years ago when I was growing-up in a falling down rental house "south of the tracks."

Ms Lipson is very fortunate to have Paula Sauder as a friend and support person. Paula makes us all sit up and ask: What the hell can I do to help out?

Wait a minute. Doesn't Kansas have a United States Senator that is of the opinion that the World is only several thousand years old? Could it be that he is wrong? It is obvious he is not going to be our next President.
