If the document is presented to the city commission in an open meeting, then it is an open record subject to the Kansas Open Records Law.
Personally, I would like to know what is the need to keep it secret, even if for a little while. Seems to me identifying the "leakage" would help us plug the leak.
And for the record, we bount a dishwasher at Guions. IT would have been $250 less had we bought it at Lowes. We believe in shopping locally, but sometimes the merchants don't make that easy.

I think Mr. Walker, and anyone else critical of teachers, should spend some time in the classroom. It ain't easy, folks. Mr. Walker, I challenge you to get a license to substitute teach and go give it a try. I'll donate $100 to your favorite cause if you try this and still feel the way you do as indicated above.

Want to grow ESU?
1. Tout the strengths...everywhere...nationwide. We have outstanding education and library programs. Let the world know. Every high school student in this country who is considering either major should know of Emporia State.
2. Identify the university's weaknesses and either strengthen them or dump them. This could be programs, administration, facuty or staff (if I had my choice, you could start with journalism. The professors are out of touch, the program does nothing to prepare graduates for working in new media, The Bulletin is run like a club and we have nothing to prepare us for television, radio or Web journalism).
3. Hire marketing, public affairs and admissions staff that actually know what they are doing. Focus less on getting students here at any costs and more on finding quality students. It is no wonder ESU is the smallest university in the state system with a reputation for not getting the best students. Quality programs attract quality students. Enough said.
4. Have the administrators climb down from the Ivory Tower and make a serious effort to talk to students (not just the SGA puppets, but students who have real issues, real concerns and real needs).
Do this, and ESU will grow by leaps and bounds.
GUARANTEED
