No Charge Due Decision Holds In Conflict Case
Shawnee County Attorney Gene Olander reaffirms no conflict of interest charge against Gov. Robert Docking in the First National Bank leasing dispute. He says four affirmative votes are needed to approve contracts, challenging the validity of the lease. Docking owns 1,800 shares in First Topeka Bankshares worth estimated 40 to 50 thousand dollars. A court ruling had suggested a simple majority may suffice for contract approval in a separate capital project case.
