Ethics commission member resigns in disgust
Drew Hartnett Salina attorney resigns from the Kansas Govermental Ethics Commission effective June 7 citing legislative attacks on the commission. He criticizes lawmakers for weakening the law and says the public needs protection from political pressure as the panel faced dissolution and changes in appointment powers. The resignation follows earlier moves including the April exit of chair Dr John Henderson and shifts in appointing authority by the governor and party leaders.
