Kansas should applaud efforts to hold KBA accountable
State Sen Susan Wagle chairs the Senate Commerce Committee as it reviews how the Kansas Bioscience Authority uses public funds. The probe targets CEO Tom Thornton and President John Carlin amid reports of high salaries and lavish bonuses for many staff, plus concerns over travel and entertainment expenses.

The committee seeks deeper scrutiny of spending and governance at the KBA.
