Riley County commissioners voted to drop out of the Flint Hills Regional Council at this time. The vote stemmed from discussions on the increase in member fees, which are due by the end of the month. The board originally tabled the discussion last week for review. Commission Chair John Ford says he struggled with the decision partly due to the increase being used to pay off a loan. Ford also cited the reason for his decision was not due to the actual amount of the increase in costs, but because the ask came after the 2022 budget was finalized. Regional…

It concluded that a Johnson County judge had no business striking down the law in a case that dealt with another legal question. Judge David Hauber struck down the law dealing with counties in deciding a case that dealt a lawsuit against a school district,…
