Church leaders challenge Kobach on voter ID remarks
Kansas church leaders dispute Secretary of State Kris Kobach's claim that no legitimate churches oppose the voter photo ID law. They accuse him of not meeting African American pastors and say the law disenfranchises the elderly minorities and the poor. Kobach says his comments referred to individual pastors, not churches.

Man pleads no contest to arson at Jayhawk Motel
A 57-year-old Lawrence man Richard Pina Coker faced charges after police said he poured gasoline on the Jayhawk Motel on April 1. Coker pleaded no contest to arson of a non dwelling building and awaits sentencing August 25. Police had reported a burn mark and he has been held on a $30,000 bond. In northeast Kansas Bank officials warned of a credit card scam with calls claiming cards are deactivated requesting the card number PIN and possibly SSN. Authorities say calls likely originate outside the area and advise hanging up.
