Kansan Raffle Law Change Could Aid Nonprofits
An editorial argues Kansas voters may approve a constitutional amendment in November to allow nonprofit religious, fraternal, educational and veterans groups to run raffles.

Tim Huelskamp but says the measure targets only nonprofit groups, not political campaigns, and expects broad support for easier fund raising via raffles.
