Brownback helps preserve Cheney office funding in Senate vote
In a 15 to 14 Senate budget committee decision, Sam Brownback thwarted a push by Democrats to cut funding for Vice President Cheney’s $4.8 million budget over disputes about a disclosure executive order. Brownback criticized the move as political and said the committee upheld bipartisanship. Meanwhile FEMA will staff county fair booths in Kansas to teach weather and disaster preparedness, with demonstrations on insulated concrete farms and other protections. Kansas public officials express concern over passport delays as Rep. Nancy Boyda’s office aids Kansans, urging continued contact while a House-backed bill to hire trained retirees passes. Colorado officials review security after an armed man was fatally shot outside Gov. Ritter’s office, prompting Kansas to assess Capitol safety measures and balance openness with security.

Former AG Bob Stephan pushes federal probe into Siegelman case
Former Kansas Attorney General Bob Stephan helps draft a petition signed by 44 former state attorneys general urging Congress to investigate possible political influence in the federal prosecution of Don Siegelman. Siegelman, convicted of bribery and other charges, appeals a seven year sentence amid claims of political targeting and White House pressure on the DOJ during a tough re election. Stephan notes they knew Siegelman as fellow state AGs in the 1980s and 1990s and questions the motive behind the prosecution connected to a lottery related donation.
