"Lawrence Mayor Sue Hack is turning to the state’s Governmental Ethics Commission for guidance on how to properly separate her family’s business interests from her city duties.

In a written opinion approved Wednesday, the ethics commission said Hack’s job as the director of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Lawrence program doesn’t preclude her from serving on a new Destination Management Inc. board that has been formed to manage the operations of the Lawrence Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area.

“There is nothing in the local conflict of interest laws that would prohibit you from serving,” the ethics commission wrote in a unanimous opinion."

Naturally.


Even Kansas Senator Sam Brownback who lobbied for federal funding for the Freedom's Frontier National Heritage Area has admitted that wide-spread support for the project is lacking in Missouri.

In the Jan 23, 2008 edition of the KC Community News , an article entitled "Brownback Visits with Eye on the Economy" states:

"Brownback pointed to the state’s part in the development of a Freedom’s Frontier National Heritage Area — although he expressed regret that Missouri rejected the term “Bleeding Kansas” in the area name — as one attempt to centralize and emphasize the area’s historic contributions".
