A miscommunication between the Manhattan City Commission and the Social Services Advisory Board, or SSAB, on a key 2013 budget issue prompted a special commission meeting on Tuesday night. The commission previously approved a 5% reduction in the SSAB’s city portion of the budget to their supported agencies. The SSAB then advised the commission to approve the new budget which used the money gained from a cut in a youth program fund to lessen the blow to their supported agencies from the previous 5% to 4.2 %. UFM Executive Director Linda Teener says the youth program under the knife is important to poverty stricken local families, and shouldn’t be considered…

The McPherson Sentinel reports four anti-abortion voters’ guides were left in voting booths at a McPherson church and the Lindsborg Safety Center.

Kansas law prohibits electioneering, such as wearing or handing out various labels or materials, inside polling places on election day. It’s also banned within 250 feet of a polling place. McPherson County Attorney David Page says electioneering is a serious matter, but proving criminal intent…
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) The Kansas Revenue Department has seized eight convenience stores in the southeastern part of the state for what it says are unpaid sales taxes. The agency says the seizures Tuesday of the eight Jump Start stores represent the last in a long series of steps to collect the taxes. The stores are owned by a company called TAS Group LLC.

Agents shut down two stores each in Coffeyville and Independence and one…
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) The State Library of Kansas is using Facebook to complain about major publishers’ policies regarding e-books at libraries. Library officials contend that six large publishing firms refuse to sell some titles as e-books to libraries, or charge higher rates for popular books. State librarian Jo Budler told The Wichita Eagle the library needed to explain to the public why some popular books are not available as e-books. Some of the e-books not available include “Harry Potter,” and “The Signal and the Noise” by political forecaster Nate Silver. The Facebook page also lists e-books that are available to…
