Saving my KORA request language as a note in my phone for easy access so I can file the occasional Friday evening open record request while I sit here with this cutie pie 🩷

Ok, kids … who can tell me what’s wrong with this picture? 🤦🏻‍♀️

Wild throwback looking at the 2022 water/wastewater rate presentation ... I know some of my fellow nerds remember these agenda items. #LawrenceCityComm lawrenceks.civicweb.net/Portal/Meeti...

👋☺️ That’s City@LawrenceKSTimes.com!

Send us your water bills

We’re curious about how water use and charges differ across households and across town.

If you’re willing to share your City of Lawrence water and trash bill with us, please send a photo or PDF of your bill(s) to City@LawrenceKSTimes.com (don’t forget the “KS”). Please also let us know how many people live in your household, and if you do anything that uses more than typical water, such as watering your lawn daily.

We will not publish any identifying information from your bill, but we are interested in your address so we can see how costs differ in different areas of town.

Newzcat Ellie is ready for work on #LawrenceCityComm budget night. Newzcat Charlotte is shirking her duties.

Adorable calico sits in cat tree in newsroom, ready for action

Equally adorable but naughty calico looks back into newsroom through door … she’s probably going to go eat something

Yay, here it is :)

The responsive document provided in response to a KORA request to the City of Lawrence for the paper handout given to Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members during their Sept. 8, 2025 meeting.

Mackenzie Clark@mclarknews· Sep 9

Super fun Parks & Rec board meeting this evening. They blocked me from recording the audio through Zoom and then gave advisory board members a paper handout that wasn't posted with the online agenda. (I have since KORA'd, will share) 10/10, no notes. Goodnight! 😉 #lfk

Parks and Recreation Advisory Board members look at a paper handout provided to them during their Sept. 8, 2025 meeting but not included in the online meeting agenda (before or after the meeting).

Do you really tho

Evergy email to customers purports to want to help customers with high bills this summer, on the heels of a planned 9.6% rate hike.

Mackenzie Clark@mclarknews· Jun 8

Wishing us all a moment like this today. 💗

Sweet calico cat lies happily atop a scratching post with the evening sun keeping her perfectly warm and cozy.

Mackenzie Clark@mclarknews· Jun 3

Oh hey, I was right! Thanks, YouTube livestream. Nothing allows public access like you do.

Mackenzie Clark@mclarknews· Jun 3

Sounds like there are a lot of folks at #LawrenceCityComm for the Pride Month proclamation, but Zoom users can't see them (or anything but this view).

Mackenzie Clark@mclarknews· Apr 22

just chillin in a cave with hippie hair, wbu

Mackenzie Clark@mclarknews· Apr 2

Have you tried the FaveReds tho? 👀 🤤

Newzcat Ellie says don’t let the voter registration deadline sneak up on you! Register/update your registration by Tuesday, July 15 to vote in the Aug. 5 city commission and (probably) school board primary election. ksvotes.org ✅

Newzcat Ellie seems to be chillin and unaware that creepy newzcat Charlotte is sneaking up on her.

Mackenzie Clark@mclarknews· Mar 15

No cheating. Post the last photo of your pet.

Two calico cats lying on the bed, one looking intense and kind of suspicious and the other mid-yawn, looking kind of goofy, with a bit of a blep.

Mackenzie Clark@mclarknews· Mar 12

Newzcat Charlotte thinks it’s a great day to put my standing desk to use. Newzcat Ellie disagrees.

Cat has taken up residence under a chair overturned on the bed in order to vacuum.

Cat stands on my feet as I attempt to use a treadmill at my standing desk.

Mackenzie Clark@mclarknews· Mar 5

Honestly, how am i ever supposed to get out of bed when Ellie is this perfect

Adorable dilute calico looks snuggly and warm lying on her side in bed. Not pictured: it is icky outside again today

Newzcat Ellie says hello! 😽 #calico #lfk

Mackenzie Clark@mclarknews· Dec 14

Somehow I think our “top fans” will better appreciate if we do not do this

Mackenzie Clark@mclarknews· Dec 4

Just me? 🫤

You’re never too big to be a shoulder ki-- ope #cats #calico

Kitty perches on human’s shoulders in blurry photo taken milliseconds before kitty slips off shoulders and onto lap because kitty is too big (or shoulders are too small, as she might see it)

Kitty on lap, slightly less pleased with herself but still content

Polka dot toe beans are magic ✨ #calico #cats

Pretty green-eyed calico kitty Charlotte lounges, exposing the underside of one paw and partially pink, partially black polka dotted toe beans.

Charlotte making a goofy face, probably because she just realized her toe beans are magical.

You might be on an Otter team in #lfk if ...

List of team vocabulary for Otter transcription service includes Alvamar, Bert Nash, DCCCA, Heartland RADAC and other Lawrence- and Kansas-centric terms.

Mackenzie Clark@mclarknews· Nov 16

Who am I kidding? I owe you #cats. This should’ve come first. Here are happy newzcats, Ellie enjoying sunshine, and Charlotte taking rightful ownership of things that were mine once.
