Koch lobbyists accused in Kansas policy clash and retaliation
The Kansas Policy Institute and other think tanks testified on a Koch favored bill amid a clash with state senator Schwab. He recounted a confrontation with Koch lobbyists Mike Morgan and Mark Nichols at an ALEC gathering, including threats and personal pressure over voting for the renewable standards bill. Schwab says he has not voted for the measure since and cites the incident as the reason. Kansas Chamber of Commerce President Mike O’Neal notes a $250 donation to Schwab’s campaign in 2013 and says Schwab knew why the chamber did not endorse him.
