Field of potential commissioners increases
By NED STAFFORD
Staff Reporter
During the last weekend before the filing deadline for three seats on the Lawrence City Commission, several have announced their candidacy.
Milton Collins, 50N. Second St., paid the $10 filling 'ee Friday afternoon, raising the nun.er of candidates who were in attendance on the April 5 general election to four
Don Binnis, city commissioner; Donald Brownstein, KU associate professor of philosophy; and Phillip Endacott, assistant director of housekeeping at the University of Kansas, this weekend announced that they planned to file
They will join Mike Amyx, Ernest
Angino and David Longhurst, who already have filed.
IF MORE THAN six people file by the noon Tuesday deadline, there will be a primary election March 1.
Mayor Marci Francisco yesterday said she had talked to people who would be pleased to see her file.
But she said, "I don't have plans to file."
City Commissioner Tom Gleason said he would announce his decision today.
Bimns said yesterday he decided to file because he was not pleased with the field of candidates.
Binns said his retirement from teaching at Lawrence High School at the end of this school year helped him decide to seek re-election because the
work would keep him busy during his retirement.
Collins, 57, is the owner of Uncle Milty's Cafe, 2246 Barker St., and has lived in Lawrence for 11 years.
"I would like to see the will of the people expressed through the city compession."
Collins said, "I hope to achieve a more open, honest form of government for the city of Lawrence.
Endacott, 48, 602 Country Club Terrace, filed by petition Friday afternoon, but his petition was ruled invalid because only 48 of the 71 signatures on his petition met legal guidelines.
ENDACITT MUST either submit a new petition or pay a $10 fee.
An election petition must contain 50 signatures of registered voters who
reside within Lawrence's city limits. A person can pay a $10 filing fee instead of submitting an election petition.
Endacott yesterday said he wanted to file by petition but would pay the $10 filing fee if he could not get the required signatures in time.
Endacott, a Lawrence native, graduated from the University in 1960.
Endacott said he had been critical of city government for the past few years and he would like to see the dissension on the city commission corrected.
HE SAID HE would follow a conservative approach in dealing with the city's budget.
Brownstein, 1001 Rhode Island St.,
announced his intention to file Sat-
turday.
Brownstein, 39, said in a prepared
statement that he would run an issue-oriented campaign.
He said he thought the downtown development was crucial and he would like to see steady progress in downtown redevelopment plans that would provide a sense of community by striving the "special character" of downtown and nearby neighborhoods.
Brownstein said he supported business and industrial development, but that "such development requires full public debate and disclosure."
"Industrial development should concentrate on diversity with special emphasis on high-technology industries. He also urged the officees and headquarters," he said.
He said KU could work in partnership with the city to attract industry.
The city commission and staff have no excuse not to work together more efficiently, he said, and city commissioners should enable "a tense and bitter family dinner."
