Lawbreaking lawmakers remain in Kansas Legislature. Colleagues want to kick an accused one out.

A trio of convicted and accused lawbreakers remain lawmakers as the Kansas Legislature returns for its annual session this month.

The 2022 legislative session starts Monday, with three men who admitted to or were accused of breaking the law in the past year continuing to serve their elected terms.

One top legislator was convicted after cops said he led them on a drunken car chase down the wrong way of an interstate. He spent two days in jail.

Another lawmaker admitted to hitting a child in his private area while substitute teaching, but claims that either God or the devil made him do it. He lost his teaching license but remains a lawmaker, with a role in both education and judicial policy. His 90-day jail sentence was suspended.

A freshman legislator with a sordid history of alleged abuse has a criminal charge pending in a domestic abuse case, with a separate DUI arrest that could derail attempts at diversion.

How that democrat ever got elected is beyond me. None of his past was secret, all out in the open and he replaced a D who had been their elected official for quite a long time.
