I don't know of many newspapers who would publish this without identifying the source. That's disappointing and the paper would have to give him/her up anyway if pressed by police. I hope that's happened. Especially after the Arndt shooting - I don't want an anti-dog maniac in my county. Please prosecute this guy or get him to stop shooting his weapon. What a dork! and double dork to the Gazette.

Thank you Brandy for the location! Lively site this is. My son's car was broken into at 10th and Sylvan during the same time period.

Fix a few of the slabs and get it over with. Let property owners in the NW pay for a new station.

When are city managers, staff and commissioners going to realize that Emporia doesn't have the money? Half the "city" leaders (including many of the Gazette's editorial staff) live in the county, thereby avoiding having to pay high city taxes. And the other half of the city of Emporia are renters who don't pay property taxes! Go check out how many square acres aren't taxed either because of their churches, schools, ESU, etc. The Gazette should really look at the city's acreage and show how little is left to be taxed.

Like most city and county general fund budgets - the bulk goes to personnel. Let's see a story on who makes what (without names)..did the salary study do that? That's where our dollars go.

It's not that the streets are bad per se, it's the way motorists drive - way above the speed limit, especially at 9th and West. People run stop signs, park too many of their cars on the street, etc. Too bad there aren't enough police around to catch the speeders and get the vans off the street. Life would be appreciably better. The bumps are bad only if you hit them at 40 mph not the 30 or 20 mph limits.

The city of Emporia is half homeownership and half renters. So, yes, it's time to make a tax that's able to be more equitable and in line with similar cities' sales tax rates. Emporia needs a boost now.

I'm just not comfortable with an institution that doesn't have good relations with its doctors, which is my interpretation of all that's been written and said. I'm most disappointed after learning that the hospital doesn't work hard to retain physicians. I don't know that any other place has solid leadership and good relations with its doctors, but I won't go to Newman's anymore until I hear that things are better.
