Sebelius unable to promise city leaders more money
TOPEKA—Gov. Kathleen Sebelius offered cooperation — but not money — to city leaders yesterday, encouraging collaboration to address the demand for services under tight budgets.
Sebelius addressed the League of Kansas Municipalities, telling officials that she understood their needs and the demands placed on them to provide services to residents. In recent years, the state has had to tighten its spending, she said, forcing service reductions.

In Lawrence you need to go to the main post office at Seventh and Vermont streets. Head to the office directly across from the glass doors (right next to the head of the line). Bring proof of U.S. citizenship (birth certificate, certificate of naturalization, etc.); proof of identity (driver's license, etc.); and two passport photos, which you can have taken for under $10 at Kinko's, Office Depot, most travel agencies and lots of other places.
Bring your checkbook because you need to pay a $55 passport processing fee plus a $30 application fee. Allow six to eight weeks to receive your passport. If you need it sooner, you can expedite the process with an extra $60 fee, and you should get your passport within about two weeks. For more information about U.S. passports and the application process, visit http://travel.state.gov/passport_easy.html.
