Owen Linked to questionable donations in Hayden 1986 campaign
Former Kansas official Dave Owen and associates are tied to about $50,000 in donations to Governor Mike Hayden’s 1986 campaign through three Johnson County corporations. Anvestors Marketing Inc. existed six months with no clear income. Kansas Microwave Inc. owed back taxes and carried an IRS lien. Eagle Distributors Inc. showed minimal assets and negative net worth. The probe suggests possible use of fronts rather than legitimate funds to fuel the $1.3 million campaign.

Opportunity Beckons OPERA in Hayden campaign finance
A Harris News Service review of Gov. Mike Hayden's 1986 campaign records shows nearly 50 000 dollars shaped by former Lt. Governor Dave Owen through friends and business associates. Donations include three firms that seem unable to justify 3 000 dollar caps. Most funds, 47 750 dollars, came from October 14 1986 and were credited to the Hayden campaign on October 17 as the campaign sought to cover advertising and mailing expenses.
