Campaign loans raise questions in Shawnee County
A complaint to Shawnee County District Attorney alleges Lt. Gov. Jeff Colyer may have violated Kansas law by using campaign funds for defense lawyers during a federal grand jury probe and by leveraging campaign assets for a personal loan. It cites $167,000 in legal payments by the Brownback Colyer campaign and notes prior loan scrutiny in 2018 and 2014.

He cited highly variable Kansas precipitation and noted potential for more high impact storms through spring before longer dry spells in June and July. Groundwater reliance grows amid three proposed bills in Topeka, including HB 2245 seeking administrative remedies prior to judicial action.
