Douglas County’s Future at the Crossroads | Lawrence News

Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description

Douglas County’s top candidates clashed over big-ticket issues at their latest forum — from halting data center sprawl to safeguarding farmland and wetlands, and fiercely debating where to prioritize the budget. While most agreed courts and law enforcement must stay funded, they split on mental health, seniors, and community investments. Data centers drew near-universal opposition, with calls for moratoriums and transparency — including a pledge to reject NDAs. Protecting rural character and natural resources was non-negotiable for many. And affordability? Candidates proposed everything from salary freezes to smarter housing policies — all to keep Douglas County livable without sacrificing its soul or services.
