Riley County commissioners past and present haven’t held back their disdain for Topeka. But Thursday morning, commission chairman Ron Wells went further than that during discussion concerning steps the board approved to further explore plans to replace the county’s aged emergency radio system. Commissioners learned a new system could come with a $9.9 million price tag. The decades-old system county emergency personnel and police officers use fails in many spots throughout the county. “Instead of trying to withhold funds (from the state),” Wells said. “Go ahead and file a suit against the state of Kansas to quit taking the money that belongs…

With a 14-point lead in the first half, Kansas State was playing some of its best basketball in nearly three weeks. Then, the Wildcats lost their composure, and the lead followed. Wednesday night’s 80-68 loss to Oklahoma State followed an all-too-familiar pattern for the Wildcats. The energy and passion to win was not there; at least when it absolutely needed to be. The Cowboys outscored K-State 61-35 after the Wildcats took a 33-19 lead with six minutes to play in the first half. The loss dropped K-State to 3-5 in league play at home this season, ensuring a second straight…

TOPEKA — The Kansas House has given first-round approval to providing Medicaid to more low-income, non-elderly adults.

But opponents, including a state agency that oversees KanCare, say it would be a huge cost to the state. A…
