County denies Kobach favoritism in Douglas County case

County Administrator Craig Weinaug said a new building officer was placed early in 2014 to improve consistency and help builders meet code. The issue centered on Kobach’s planned rural residence, misclassified as agricultural use, risking a $700 fine and potential removal of uninspected plumbing and forced water hookup before occupancy.
