Petition lawsuit decision expected
A long-awaited court decision surrounding the city's involvement in funding improvements to County Road 1 is expected today.
At 1 p.m., Leavenworth County District Judge David King will release his decision on the validity of a petition that calls for a vote on the city's financial participation in a project to upgrade County Road 1 from Tonganoxie to a proposed interchange on the Kansas Turnpike.
In November 2006, the city filed a lawsuit against the 354 residents who signed the petition. If the city prevails , no vote would be scheduled on the city's contribution to the project.
Tonganoxie has pledged $1 million toward the County Road 1 improvements but has not acted on the pledge while the lawsuit decision is pending.

Point of View
What’s been your favorite vacation destination?
“As an adult my favorite vacation would have to be the Rockies. Colorado has always had a close place in my heart. But as a child I always went to the northern states and I’d have to say that they had the best family oriented activities, such as the Great Lakes and many a fun time on the Mississippi. If it involved water, we were there.”
