Candidates tackle local issues in debate
By Carlos Tejada
Kansan staff writer
Quiet discourse and a minimum of political venom marked last night's debates between local candidates.
Candidates running for Douglas County Commission and the Kansas Legislature appeared last night at Lawrence City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St., to answer questions from both the League of Women Voters and the Lawrence Association of Neighborhoods. The first debate was between Mark Buhl, Republican and incumbent Douglas County Commissioner, and Democratic opponent Lisa Blair. Blair and Buhler agreed with each other that both new jail space and a proposed 1 cent sales tax were needed.

But they disagreed on development issues, such as the South Lawrence Trafficway. Buhler said the county should continue construction of the South Lawrence Trafficway despite a recent report that it had gone $20 million over budget. He said delaying construction until a final route had been determined only would increase the cost further.
Mark Buhler, Republican and incumbent Douglas County Commissioner, answers a question while moderator Ellen Reid Gold, associate professor of communication studies, and Lisa Blair, Buhler's Democratic challenger for the commission seat, watch. Blair and Buhler are running in Douglas County District One, which consists of most of Lawrence north of 15th Street.
"When someone can tell us where it's going to go, then we can be a little more realistic with the public about the cost," Buhler said.
Blair disagreed with Buhler.
"To continue going forward when you don't know where you're going is

irresponsible." she said.
Blair also said Horizon 2020, a development plan for city and county land use into the year 2020, was weak.
"It seems to be diluted, which gives elastic definitions and, in the long run, could hurt the community." Blair said.
But, Buhler said, the plan would do an effective job in planning future development.
"A lot of people would say Horizon 2020 is a mess, but it's a necessary mess," he said.
The second debate — between Forrest Swall, Democratic representative from Lawrence's 45th District, and Tom Sloan, Republican challenger — also saw little argument. Each said that they supported abortion rights and that water was the state's most pressing environmental concern.
But Sloan criticized Swall for voting against a health-care plan, proposed in the Legislature's last session, that called for off-setting the hospital bills of lower-income patients with slightly higher bills for higher-income patients. Sloan said after the debate that Swail had voted against the bill, which passed 119-5, even though it was a fair compromise between two sides.
"The analogy is, If we don't play by myrules, I'll take my ball home," Sloan said.
Swail said after the debate that he supported the bill's main idea. But he also said the bill was not strong enough and did not help people in need.
The last debate, between first-time candidates Eric Schmidt, Republican, and Troy Findley, Democrat, was more argumentative. The candidates, who are running in the 46th District, disagreed on the issue of abortion. Findley supports abortion rights, and Schmidt is anti-abortion.
"Here we have an example of a
defenseless member of society," said Schmidt, referring to the human fetus.
In reference to Kansas' current abortion laws, Findley said, "It's the best compromise to keeping the extremists from making any infringement on a woman's right to choose."
They also disagreed on taxes. Schmidt said he saw no need to raise income taxes further.
"I would be uncomfortable with any tax increase, and I'm not certain we have a financial crisis," he said.
But Findley said a financial problem existed and saying taxes shouldn't be raised was avoiding the question.
