Governor Brownback
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) _ Several Kansas legislators say Gov. Sam
Brownback raised issues such as tax cuts and water policy in
private meetings with them at his official residence.
But their accounts of the meetings differed Monday.
Some Republican legislators who attended one or more of the
gatherings with the GOP governor described them as purely social
events.
But several lawmakers interviewed by The Associated Press said
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
Meetings Act. Brownback spokeswoman Sherriene
Jones-Sontag said the administration remains confident that the
gatherings did not violate the law.
