Kansas Racing Commission weighs Hayden delay on track ownership
In Topeka the Kansas Racing Commission chair said the full panel should decide on Gov. Hayden’s call to delay rulings on pari mutuel tracks. Hayden wants time for the Kansas Bureau of Investigation to finish its probe into alleged state campaign law violations by ex Lt. Gov. Dave Owen, a GOP fund raiser. The Public Disclosure Commission approved a consent decree detailing $32,000 in allegedly illegal contributions from Owen to Hayden’s 1986 campaign, linked to $100,000 received by Owen from Paul Bryant Jr. of Alabama who seeks a dog track project near Pittsburg. Owen’s funding chain involves several Owen-connected firms and donations to Hayden and his donors.
