As reported by Martin Hawver in Hawver’s Capitol Flash:
Lobbyists were talking about one of the stranger receptions that they’ve attended in recent memory: one organized by [Kansas Governor Mark] Parkinson to introduced lobbyists and political operatives to Tom Holland, D-Baldwin City, who is seeking the governorship.
Strange: Lobbyists weren’t asked for checks, weren’t pressured, just given a chance, for free, to talk to Holland and learn more about him. That isn’t often done in Kansas.
