gatherings with the GOP governor described them as purely social
events.

Brownback made remarks about substantive issues.
Brownback had seven meetings in January for Republicans on 13
legislative committees. He planned gathering planned Monday evening
for a bipartisan group of lawmakers.
Shawnee County District Attorney Chad Taylor, a Democrat, is
investigating whether the gatherings violated the Kansas Open

gatherings did not violate the law.
