  “Twenty-one years on the council. One spray park. And, when the Harlem Globetrotters needed their dirty uniforms and jockstraps washed in 2023, Councilwoman Ortiz personally loaded them up and took care of it. East Topeka may still have the same potholes it had in 2005, but at least the Globetrotters left town with fresh drawers. That’s what we call leadership.” The Quick Facts In March 2023, the Harlem Globetrotters and Washington Generals were in Topeka for a game at the Stormont Vail Events Center. Their usual laundromat apparently treated them poorly (refused service or gave them a hard time after they showed up with bags of dirty gear post-game). Ortiz’s daughter posted about it online. Sylvia jumped in, apologized on behalf of Topeka, offered to handle it herself, waited for the team after the show/shower, loaded up all their stuff, and took it to Oakland Easy Wash to get it done.

  Sylvia Ortiz: 21 Years of Showing Up… and One Spray Park In local government, they say showing up is half the battle. Sylvia Ortiz has mastered that half. For the other half — you know, actually changing anything in East Topeka — residents are still waiting after twenty-one years . Since she took her seat on the Topeka City Council in 2005, Ortiz has been the longest-serving member in modern city history. She’s collected the plaques, won the re-elections (even the 57% squeaker in 2025), and sat through endless committee meetings. Her official city bio proudly notes her deep roots and Neighborhood Improvement Association days. Then it gets to the legacy part: “Sylvia is very proud of being a major stakeholder in creating the first spray park in Samuel Jackson Park.” That’s it. That’s the headline achievement. One splash pad built in 2011. Kids get wet. Water shoots up. Memories made. Meanwhile, the streets she’s been “fixing” for two decades still rattle cars. The sidewalk...

What's happening to the real Topeka? I knew this town has gone to shit fast, the business and everything for real, man. It's like seeing a town you grow up in go straight to shit, really wow. Got poor management for a lot of places, disrupting employees, people that dont want to work. You feel like a slave (aka Reser's), man. This town has gone straight to shit since I was a kid, damn that's sad, man. It makes me want to just not do business here and go somewhere there is money and opportunities, like Texas hell anywhere but kansas man.  Matt  Summary of your message: You're expressing deep frustration and sadness over Topeka, Kansas's rapid decline since your childhood. Businesses and the local economy feel like they've "gone to shit" due to poor management, disruptive or unmotivated employees, and a general lack of opportunities. You describe feeling like a "slave" at places like Reser's, with many spots disrupting workers ...

  The U.S. trucking industry is massive and serves as the backbone of the American economy. In 2024, it generated an estimated $906 billion in gross freight revenues (for primary shipments only) and moved 11.27 billion tons of freight—roughly 72.7% of the nation’s total domestic freight by weight . Trucking dominates freight movement far more than rail, air, or water combined for most domestic goods. It directly and indirectly supports 8.4 million jobs across the economy (excluding self-employed workers), including 3.58 million professional truck drivers . The industry is overwhelmingly made up of small businesses: nearly 580,000 active motor carriers, with 91.5% operating 10 or fewer trucks. Broader Economic Impact Trucking isn’t just big on its own—it enables virtually every other sector (retail, manufacturing, agriculture, construction, healthcare, energy, etc.) by keeping supply chains moving efficiently. Without reliable trucking, shelves go empty, factories idle, and p...

KORA  I need to know when the water service was stopped at 502 SE 21st Street for non-payment.  You can also verify that over the years the FOX family never had water service at that address.  Tell me why after the years of NO service the City did not condemn the property on its own?  MCRE, LLC 3625 SW 29 th  Street Topeka KS 66614 785.383.9994
