Kansas ethics officials called the failure to report more than $1,200 in campaign contributions before a legislative election a serious violation of campaign finance law. Ex-Speaker Cal Strowig defended Doyen against claims his omission was minor, citing other amended reports but the commission set a public hearing for January 18 on the Coven case amid internal disagreements.
