Despite being intrigued by a new possibility in Lawrence, Luis Ruiz was not expecting to seriously consider making a jump to the Sunflower State. Ruiz, who was born and raised in Miami and is a first generation Cuban-American, went to school at the University of Miami and spent at least a decade working in the Sunshine State… He took the job as director in May. Then in July, the city released its initial 2025 budget that his department could face service cuts, something Ruiz — and other city officials — was not fully aware of when he took the job.
