Nichols draws fire over veteran newsletter mailings
Rep. Dick Nichols faces criticism from colleagues for sending a taxpayer funded four page veterans newsletter to veterans in Kansas districts of other congressmen. The piece praised his work on the House Veterans Affairs Committee and included a letter from the committee chair. Nichols mailed about 6200 copies in January to veterans across 25 counties of the 5th District and 14 adjoining counties, with roughly half reaching recipients outside his district. Jaime Fall said the mailing aimed to inform veterans statewide about Nichols activities.
