Kansans react to outcry over campaign calls law passes
Lawmakers respond to public anger over automated political calls in last year’s elections by enacting a disclosure requirement for groups making candidate advocacy calls. The measure labels noncompliant calls as a Class C misdemeanor, while other campaign finance reforms stalled despite ongoing ethics commission pressure and efforts to provide more funding data. A $50,000 appropriation funds an electronic filing system for candidate spending data ahead of the 2010 cycle.

Panel clears hurdle to new gambling in Kansas
The Kansas Lottery Commission unanimously ruled that an advisory Crawford County vote in April 2005 satisfies the law's requirement for local approval of slots or a casino. The decision clears the path for Camptown Greyhound Park to gain a management contract and allows state negotiators to pursue southeast Kansas casino deals by December. If Crawford had failed, delays and extra election costs could reach 50,000 dollars.
