Sedgwick County Commissioners are calling for a new policy ... after not finding out the county paid for Commissioner Lacey Cruse’s trip to Ghana until she was already gone. Cruse spent a week in Ghana to attend an appreciation dinner after accepting an invitation from the nation's Queen Mother, whom the County Commission honored during a visit to Wichita last summer. Commission Chair Pete Meitzner tells KNSS News commissioners "don't travel that much" ... but a travel policy would be a good idea.
At Wednesday's meeting, commissioners are expected to renew the Intrust Bank Arena management contract with SMG. Meitzner says the relationship has been a good one for ten years and "they've done a fine job". The county is looking at a five-year contract extension.
Meitzner commented during the Steve and Ted in the Morning Show on KNSS.
