Docking ends bid to oust Kansas health chief
Gov. Docking says he will not seek further action to remove Dr. Geofrey Martin as state health officer noting the issue rests with the Health Board. The board rejected firing Martin, citing policy and his appointment date, while Docking acknowledged prior salary approval for the year. In Washington a New York detective testified that a racketeer, Carmine Lombardozzi, escaped a death sentence at Apalachin with a fine and a council ruling, tying him to jukebox coin machines and racketeering networks.
