will Beaty have to face charges from the state after having KDOT employees working on his personal pond on taxpayer time and money and when will the facts on the deputy chief ever be revealed, was he involved with the trooper or the city engineer or both?

Sounds to me like the upper crust in Emporia want to support their own and not have anyone live up to their wrong doing. My question is if the dowel baskets were not used in this project did Herrick use them in another project, charge for them again and make a great profit. Maybe this is how he is paying for that fine home he is building 10 miles south of town. I think that the editor should quit trying to influence the public and sway a possible juror.

I think that Star Construction should be charged as the owners answer to why the baskets were not placed is because he did not want to and him and Beatie were best friends. Instead of returning the almost 12000.00 they get a change order to charge and addition 7000.00, bet that makes it easier to build that new home down south. I think that the state should also file charges for KDOT employees working at his house on the tax payers time.

Emporiamama you sound like you know everything about this, if so maybe you should not be online discussing it as all family memebers involved have been order by the court not to discuss this matter. Maybe the girl is not so innocent herself. I feel that he was in the wrong and should not have placed himself in the situation. I also feel that students should know what to put on facebook for all to see and what not to. The ones I feel sorry for are the parents of the 2 involved, they are going through hell right now and do not deserve it at all. Both parties are old enough to know better then to do what they did and now have brought disrespect to 2 very nice families.

You have every right to choose what bar to go into, if you don't like smoke then go the smoke free ones, which there are. I do not smoke but don't feel that I have the right to tell a business owner what they can or cannot do. There are very few restaurants in this town that allow smoking, so go eat at one that is smoke free.

Drumma, I did not say second hand obesity, I was speaking clearly of a health issue and stated that. Teresa went at this ban as a health issue and second hand smoke was her target. Well obseity is a health issue and greasy Wendy's burgers contribute so they could be the target.

I do realize that the platform for CAE and Teresa was a heath issue, but did Teresa ever fill one bit guilty when she was serving those greasey hamburgers, cheeseburgers, fries, and frosty's to the residents of Emporia? I bet not and look how many arteries she helped clog and bypasses she caused. Nope never bothered her one bit to contribute to obesity and she laughed all the way to the bank to make those deposits. Now how much does she really care about health.

I already live in a community where the people have no say. Our commissioners passed this ordinance and should have never done that prior to a vote. The commissioners and Zimmerman are dictators, he tries to run Emporia like it is a suburb of Chicago, maybe he should go back to his roots and let us get back to ours.

as always the upper crust in emporia sticks together and feel that they can do what they want. All I know is what I have read, but if you get paid to do a job a certain way and you take the short cut because the city engineer "Is my best friend" you should still be punished. You don't put in nearly 12,000.00 in dowel baskets and then have the guts to issue an additional 7,000.00 + change order to up the price of the job, that is pure guts. Guess when you don't live in the city that you are putting it to, you don't have to worry about how your dishonesty affects the real taxpayers.
