Candidates debate issues
Development infrastructure are forum topics
By Sarah Morrison Kansan staff writer
Long-term development, the future of Lawrence Memorial Hospital and changes to the city's human relations ordinance were focal points of a pre-election debate last night.
Candidates for the Lawrence City Commission participated in the forum at the Board of Education Center, 3705 Clinton Parkway. The forum was sponsored by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and Sunflower Cablevision.
Candidates Bonnie Augustine, Jo Barnes, Carl Burkhead, Doug Compton, Bob Cutler, Frank Doden, Lena Johnson, Greg Keenan, BillLee, Allen Levine, Paul Longabach and LeRoy Young participated in the event. City commissioner John Nalbandian did not attend.
Most candidates cited concern over future development of the city and infrastructure as reasons for running.
The following is a synopsis of some of the questions posed and how the candidates addressed them:
Infrastructure
More sidewalks are needed to provide children with a safe way to get to and from school, Frank Doden said.
"My children have to walk a couple of blocks down Tennessee Street every morning and every afternoon to get to and from school," he said. "I know from sitting on my porch on Tennessee Street that people drive 40,50 and 60 miles an hour."
Problems with the city's sanitation system is at the top of LeRoy Young's

list of infrastructure concerns. Young wants to see the commission refurbish disintegrating sewer lines.
Adding the words 'sexual orientation' to the human relations ordinance
Burkhead said expanding protection against discrimination to people on the basis of sexual orientation would be an act against God.
"From a public-health standpoint, it
Barnes said she opposed the change because the issue should not be decided by the commission but by voters.
is not good for our community," he said. High incidences of HIV and AIDS in the male homosexual community, Burkhead said, is the reason he would not vote for the change. To do so would be to approve of a dangerous lifestyle, he said.
Development planning
Augustine, who had been undecided on the issue, said she was leaning toward opposing the change after preliminary reports on the issue showed many unanswered legal questions.
Bill Lee said he supported a flexible approach for a long-term growth plan. Lee said plans in the past had been applied too rigidly and had hindered the growth of the city. If a more flexible approach is taken, he said, growth would not be limited.
Lawrence Memorial Hospital
NATURALWAY
Selling Lawrence Memorial Hospital to Columbia/HCA, a leading for-profit health care provider in the United States, would takehealth-care choices away from the community, Lena Johnson said. She said the hospital provided adequate health care.
The primary election is Tuesday. The six candidates who receive the most votes in the primary will participate in the general election on April 4. The deadline to register to vote in the main election is March 20.
