Ethics commission questioning some PACs’ names

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The state ethics commission is determining whether some political action committees connected to leading Kansas politicians are properly named.

The Wichita Eagle reports the issue arose when a PAC called “It’s Time to Fix Stupid,” was notified that the name had to be changed.

State law requires PACs affiliated with a larger corporation or organization to note that in their name. Unaffiliated PACs must indicate who’s involved or the cause it is advocating.

The Eagle then found that PACs linked to Secretary of State Kris Kobach, Gov. Sam Brownback, former Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and a group of Pittsburg Democrats might not be properly named.

Carol Williams, executive director of the commission, said Brownback’s PAC met the requirements because it’s incorporated and includes the corporation name.
