— Tom Martin, Shawnee

We like to start the day with a brunch. It is easy to prepare and cool enough in the morning to eat on the deck. This can be followed by the pool, movies, or whatever comes along.

Do you think the state should do more to help businesses near K-7 and Johnson Drive as an interchange is constructed?

Given the time the state has had to prepare, I don’t think completing the access road before starting/ closing Johnson Drive is an unreasonable request from these businesses or those of us who patronize them.
