Court leaves two term limit in place for county leaders
A Kansas Supreme Court opinion preserves the two consecutive term limit for county treasurers and sheriffs for at least two more years. The ruling stems from a friendly suit between Attorney General Fatzer and Secretary of State Shanahan over a clerical mismatch between the legislative resolution and the adopted version. The court cannot determine the intended submission to voters or order a vote, noting the printed resolution would repeal additional electoral provisions if adopted.
