One issue in this area that you might consider is "The Wetlands
Issue". It's a complicated issue (which ones aren't?), but in summary it
is a situation where the City Commission supports the building of a
highway bypass through the Haskell Wetlands, which are used for educational
and religious puposes by the students and staff at Haskell Indian Nations
University (and also used by the Native American community and others
in the community). This issue gets very uneven coverage in the local (city)
newspaper. The person to contact:
Hannes Combest
Public Relations Administrator
c/o the President's Office
Navarre Hall
Haskell Indian Nations Univ.
Lawrence, KS 66046
Phone: 913-749-8497
I'm sorry I cannot provide an e-mail address for Ms. Combest at this time.
