Residency flap widens as senator's wife served on planning panel
The residency dispute surrounding State Sen. Roger Pine extends to his wife Sue Pine who served on the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission from 2000 to 2004. Sue Pine says they split time between Lawrence and Leavenworth County beginning in 1999 and acknowledges partial living there, while noting she followed legal guidance. County officials consider tightening residency checks for board appointees, but say the statute of limitations may render past votes unchallengeable. The controversy touches Pine's December 2003 vote on urban growth area expansion near the Lawrence Municipal Airport, a meeting he did not attend.
