Risk Unavoidable—With Or Without NBAF

Republican Primary Won't Decide Delegates in Missouri

Missouri voters will be able to head to polls Tuesday to pick a presidential candidate.  In the case of Republican voters, those votes won’t count for anything official.

Brownback Could Be Called As A Witness

Kansas Governor Sam Brownback could be called as a witness in an investigation into legislative dinners held at the governor's residence. 

Some journalists and legislators have questioned if private dinners held at Cedar Crest violated the Kansas Open Meetings Act. That law requires government business be carried out in public.   Read more here.
