Built Is Begun Suit Over Audit Of Senate Officers
Hungate and Thompson file a suit for ex Lieutenant Governor A M Harvey to compel Auditor Cole to audit his claim for presiding officer services during the special session. The case, before Judge Hazen in Shawnee County district court, tests the constitutionality of the session and whether warrants were properly issued. The Auditor has withheld payment pending Attorney General Godard’s ruling. Harvey seeks immediate action rather than wait on officials. The result may push the matter to the state supreme court.
