Thompson accuses Kansan Republicans of stripping power
State Treasurer Sally Thompson a Democrat running for U S Senate said Kansas Republicans moved to strip her of power to run the Municipal Investment Pool to hurt her politically. She notes the pool was created in 1992 with her authority and now shifts to the Pooled Money Investment Board. Thompson predicts she can beat Pat Roberts, citing her 20 years in finance and her view that she understands Kansas issues. She plans to raise about 2 million for her campaign with roughly 30 percent from out of state.
