Kansas Ethics Commission may lose one of its two auditors under proposed cuts to meet a 10 percent agency spending reduction. The move could reduce audits while duties expand as lobbyist spending and campaign funds grow. The panel seeks to trim salaries by $42,243 and fund a part-time audit helper, with lawmakers eyeing school board filings and ballot question reviews forthcoming.

Kansas lawmaker faces ethics complaint over duplex
Rep. Jan Pauls of Hutchinson faces a hearing by the Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission after a July complaint by Ryan Carey, LGBT caucus chair, alleging she failed to publicly disclose ownership of a rental duplex. The case ties to political attacks over Gay rights and anti discrimination debate. Carey says the issue concerns her income disclosures and political ties, with a potential $5,000 fine for violations.

Kansas vet board leader's time off sparks questions
A legislative audit finds Kansas Board of Veterinary Examiners executive director Dirk Hanson took the equivalent of more than 120 unpaid days off during seven months and held a side job. The audit notes risks to oversight, questions if the post should be part time, and that inspections did not meet best practices. Hanson defended the leave as cost saving during a quiet period and said his side work paid less, with salary adjustments for staff.
