Cy Leland targets Chancellor Snow over chinch bug tale
Kansan political feud heats up as Cy Leland of the Republican state central committee accuses Chancellor Snow of University of Kansas of misusing chinch bug reports to discredit him.

Also, State Bank Commissioner Breidenthal faces arrest-related scrutiny amid a wartime legal staffing dispute and a planned action by Leland and associates.
