Mental-Health programs losing support money

Mr. Persinger,

Thank you very much for your explanation. Also, thank you to rbmorgan.

You all do really good work there at the center. My life has changed for the better and I couldn't have done it w/out the center. So, thank you for being there for the community. It's so so important!

Mental-Health programs losing support money

Happiness08, your statement is horribly inaccurate and damaging. I've had personal experience with the center and know many, many people who also have. Nobody ever has to wait for emergencies!! Are you kidding me?! They work their butts off there and do not deserve people like you trashing them. I have never even heard of such a thing as having to wait for emergencies!!

How long ago did you try to get in happiness08? There is no such wait right now. Perhaps you can try again? Maybe you can get the help you need. I did. And I'm much happier for it.

County tax statements won't be mailed until after election

Did you not read the story? It clearly states the reason for the delay in the tax statements.

Sales tax delayed by intrepretation

Lyon County Attorney Marc Goodman said the issue is the intepretation of KSA 12-189.

"Legal opinions back in 2007 of the county were that the language of the statute did not establish a cap," Goodman said. "It is not that the county action is illegal."

In defense of the county here, I do not believe they were trying to do anything illegal. It comes down to intrepretation of the KSA statute. Goodman is quoted in this story as saying something different, which I've posted above. It's coming down to intrepretations of the two entities: state and local.

Free breakfasts, lunch at few schools

I don't comment much, but this conversation is ticking me off a little. When I was born my mother had plenty of money to take care of us. Because of some life circumstances, our family fell on some very hard times and my brother and I ate those lunches in the summertime for a while. As an adult, I am very thankful looking back at these programs and what they did for us. I am very upset that some of these posts are stating that you are "tired" of paying for all this. Don't punish the children. And don't punish the parents who are trying...some people just fall on hard times. That's why these programs exist. Even if the parent is a "deadbeat" IT IS NOT THE CHILD'S FAULT!!! Shame on some of these comments. I hope you never have to fall on hard times like this.
