  • The future of an economic development tool that lured Panasonic’s $4 billion dollar electric vehicle battery plant to Kansas is in doubt. Democratic Governor Laura Kelly’s administration wants to extend the Apex law into 2024 and beyond. But lawmakers could refuse.
  • The Wichita Fire Department says it issued only five citations during the Fourth of July fireworks period.
  • Former Wichita State University athletic director Lew Perkins has died.
  • The state of Kansas will hold a virtual job fair next week.
