Wary of $500 Worth Of 'Pressure' On Lobbyists
Kansas House leaders solicited $500 contributions from over 40 state lobbyist groups for a January 27-28 Kansas Legislative News Media Conference in Topeka. Attorneys say the request likely violated no law at the time but carried a pressure implication from Speaker Duane McGill and House Minority Leader Richard Loux. The issue drew ethics review and mixed responses from lobbyists and officials, with some groups declining to contribute and others defending the fund as a tax saver and public interest effort.
