According to the press release, Jefferson's, which is known for its game day food and the dollar bills adorning the walls, owes $46,847.75 in state taxes. The restaurant owed $39,648.98 in back taxes to Douglas County from June to November in 2009 and $7,198.77 from January to March in 2010, which adds up to the current total. All of owner Jason Franklin's on-site cash, business inventory, personal property and known bank accounts were seized. The release also said that a business will only be closed after the state has tried contacting the owner through letters, phone calls, letters threatening legal action and other modes of communication.
The Kansas Department of Revenue and Alcohol Beverage Control issued a press release today saying that Jefferson's Restaurant, located at 743 Massachusetts St., was closed.

Jeannine Koranda, public information officer for the Kansas Department of Revenue, said there were currently no additional penalties for Jefferson's and there was still a chance the business could open back up.
"I think it'll be resolved." Dillon said. "Come Friday, I'm confident that something will be worked out."
And the question Koranda said she'd been asked most about the closure today: What will happen to all those dollar bills on the wall?

Dispute over hairy name of ex-mayor
Harry Baals is the runaway favorite in online voting to name the new building in Fort Wayne, about 120 miles northeast of Indianapolis. But Deputy Mayor Beth Malloy said that probably
FORT WAYNE, Ind. — A former Indiana mayor who won four terms in the 1930s and 1950s is proving less popular with modern-day city leaders, who say they probably won't name a new government center for him because of the jokes his moniker could inspire.
won't be enough to put the name of the city's longest-tenured mayor on the center.
The issue is pronunciation. The former mayor pronounced his last name "balls." His descendants have since changed it to "bales."
Supporters said it's unfair that the former mayor can't be recognized simply because his name makes some people snicker. But opponents fear that naming the center after Baals would make Fort Wayne the target of late-night television jokes.
