Ag secretary seeks waiver for illegal immigrants

Citizens won't do this work. That's the problem.

Bike Police Are Not Patrolling the City

I'm not as upset about this when you consider how much we've lost in population and property values. Then you open up the Gazette classifieds and see a Topeka bakery looking for workers (probably trying to get them from Hostess) and from that bankruptcy mess who knows how many workers we may still lose? If you're not going to get your pension you're going to move on. I bet if a business next to a bar posts a security camera that some of that stuff may stop. I think we're all going to have to do more with fewer cops - better safe keeping our properties. Better neighborhood watches. Once a community starts losing population all kinds of bad stuff starts happening.

Don't forget the Home Cafe in the old S&S location...good breakfasts too but I definitely like a 24-hour option too!

Possible grant opens way for new ball fields

I really hope the Jones trust will put the brakes on this or at least bring some wisdom to this discussion. It simply can't go forward without fixing at least some ballparks in other areas of the city. It really should't happen at all anyway. Would taxpayers get to vote on the mil increase for this? Let's hope so.

Twinkies maker Hostess seeks bankruptcy protection

Oh, and this is probably going to be a case of the pension benefits being taken over by PBGC anyway....(pension benefit guaranty corp.) so make way for the feds!

Twinkies maker Hostess seeks bankruptcy protection

I don't foresee good things in this - there's just no big market for Ding Dongs and Twinkies and owing nearly a billion to pensions is a sure way to go out of business, then reorganize on a smaller basis.
