Kansas ethics clash over KU seminar for lawmakers
The University of Kansas host Robert J. Dole Institute planned a market based economics seminar for about 38 Kansas state legislators in Lawrence November 3 to 7. The Koch Foundation funds the event and a debate over ethics commission rulings and potential gifts persists. Legislators Ralph Tanner and Robert Tyson were listed, with Henry Halgerson briefly registered before withdrawing. John D. Montgomery notes ethics concerns and argues the commission misjudged the affair.
