This is a NO Brain-er!! The city needs to go with KDOT proposal. KDOT will pay all cost but 10% of design cost. The changes will not be detrimental to the business. What will be detrimental will be that the city will screw around and lose the funding from KDOT.
I guess I need to read the Tonganoxie paper more often. I haven't been in this city business for some time now, but it looks like I'm being pulled in on this.
My views are: All voters should evaluate each candidate and cast thier vote as they see fit.
These are question that I will be asking.
What are thier views? What do each candidate have to offer the county? What do they represent? Do they beleive in progress and creating jobs? Are our county roads and bridges important to them.. like they are to me? How important is it to them to keep our taxes down?
I suggest that everyone evaluate each candidate. Leavenworth county deserve the best man for the job!! By the way... Bill , I'm not "strightup" I will tell you what I think using my own name. I do not hide behind anonymous names. That is just how I roll! Paula Crook
Sounds Good! I'm glad to see them come to our town and I welcome them. My husband and I had dinner in their Lawrence place a couple of weeks ago... they have great food. I hope the people of Tongie will give them their business.
What Annie Country Jubilee building? Yes, the building is down town. I beleive with the cost of the building and the huge renovations that it will take for that building... the price tag is going to be to much (compared to the other buildings). Not a good building for the police dept. Has anyone on the council been in that building to look at what it would take to renovation it? I'm sorry but, My opinion the council shouldn't waste their time or the city's money on that building.
Now the old post office might not be a bad building for our police dept. Plus, the police dept. would still be down town! The city should seriously be looking into it if they are only asking 100k for it. The city could always add a second floor to it. Then that would be 6,000 square-foot building. It would be a great place for the police dept. if the cost of renovation isn't to much. I hope the council includes that building in the study.
The old video store building. Only down fall is the location, location, location!
Old-Vet I'm really surprised that you would make a statement like that. I'm guessing that you are a veteran and served our government and followed regulation from our government. You should know better then anyone that we need laws in place to protect the citizens. I too do not like for the government pushing unnecessary regulation on the people but sometimes they are needed. I beleive this one is needed.
As for the Roach infestation. The city council are taking the correct actions to try to protect other neighborhoods that could be facing this kind of mess. I wish they could put something in place for all home but I know they can't.
I'm sure if anyone that lives in the city that has a neighbor that lives in that kind of environment and their living condition spills over to your home... you then would fill different about having some kind of regulation in place.
In this case I beleive the owner of the home did what they could and tried to help clean the mess up for the surrounding homes and their rental home, but their could be a landlord or home owner that would not even try or care. I for one would not be happy if my neighbors living condition would pour or migrate over to my home. "Especially with Roaches" I say that the city council needs to do what ever they can to protect us and our neighborhoods.
Thanks Glen!!! You do a great job keeping the wildlife and all of us citizens safe! Thank you for your dedication to the Kansas Department of Wildlife and all your hard work. Because it is appreciated...
I don't have any problem with these new uniforms. If the new uniforms will help with the weight of all the gear that these officers have to wear then... I say great! I would like for the city to keep the traditionally uniforms for special occasions, like LV county fair, Tongie Days, even at funerals, "special events". I would like to see the police dept. phase these new uniform in and not drop the money all at once. Just my thoughts!
I have great respect for coach Elston. Coach Elston has dedicated many years to this community and to our kids. Thanks coach Elston for being there for our son!
