McClatchy plans to cut their expenses in half in just four years! What business can survive that?
“There but for the grace of God goes … Kansas and Wichita.”
Was just watching more distress stories about the floods in Iowa. It’s unbelievable. Question is: could this conflaguration happen right here in Wichita/river city?
Anytime you have an eight inch rain, you will have a flood, even if you are standing on the top of a hill.
Here in Wichita, we have the flood ditch around the main part of Wichita. However, the gravel embankments would only last an hour or so at full flow before collapsing from the velocity of the water flow.
And what if tornadoes like the ones that struck Greensburg or Chapman/Manhattan last week … would hit Wichita? Is there any planning for these eventualities? If there is planning, it must be a well kept secret.
I’m very concerned about the deteriorating financial situation of McClatchy Corporation and by their newspapers, particularly the Wichita EAGLE, the Kansas City Star and I believe the newspaper in Olathe. Best wishes in pulling out of this nose dive.
