Famous People Born in Manhattan, Kansas

Manhattan, Kansas may be the “Little Apple,” but its most famous natives usually had to leave town before the spotlight found them. That is the fun pattern in this list. Born in a college-and-prairie city shaped by Kansas State University, Fort Riley, agriculture, and the Flint Hills, these names went on to make noise in Hollywood, the NFL, music technology, politics, comedy, and national reform. Manhattan was not always the main stage. For many of them, it was the launchpad.

Topeka settles lawsuit with former city water worker for $34,999

Topeka city code requires a formal public vote of approval from the city's mayor and council to approve a lawsuit settlement only if it totals $35,000 or more. No vote was consequently required when city officials recently decided to pay a settlement of $34,999 to a former city worker. The city legal team on Oct. 1 finalized that settlement with Robby Mendez, former employee of Topeka's water distribution division. Topeka's media team declined to comment. "Due to the terms of the agreement to not discuss this matter, we are unable to provide any comment," said Kimberly Qualls, Topeka senior public relations specialist. Why did Robby Mendez sue the City of Topeka? Mendez filed his suit on July 2, alleging retaliation, interference and denial of procedural due process as it relates to taking federally protected medical leave, according to court documents. The city asked the court to dismiss the case on the claim of qualified immunity saying Mendez failed to state a claim in his lawsuit. The court ruled on Jan. 16 to dismiss the claims of interference and the denial of due process. It did maintain Mendez's claim of retaliation. How much has Topeka paid out in legal settlements in

Cindy Holscher: Ty Masterson works for them. I'll always work for you.

The election is upon us, and that means you’ve probably been barraged with political attack ads. My opponent and his out-of-state backers have spent more than $20 million trying to convince you that I’m someone I’m not. So let me tell you who I am. I was raised on a farm, riding a tractor before I could walk. My grandparents were poor tenant farmers; they didn’t own the land. After the Marines, my dad became a union construction worker, and my mom drove a school bus, among other jobs in town. Their hard work put my brothers and me through college. My husband Greg and I chose to build our life in Kansas, so our three kids could go to its great public schools. Our kids are the reason I first ran for office. When Sam Brownback’s disastrous policies were starving our schools, my daughter Sara and I ran into her teacher stocking shelves at Target. Sara asked me why her teacher needed a second job, and she asked me to fix it. So I won an election people said I couldn’t win. In Topeka, I worked with Republicans and with Gov. Laura Kelly to reverse Brownback’s “experiment.” It took
