Kansas Senate Majority Leader Jim Denning, a Republican is suing the Kansas City Star over a column published last week attributing several statements to him he said he did not make.
The column, written by contributing columnist Steve Rose, has since been taken down as the paper investigates Denning’s lawsuit. Rose’s column was about the state’s Medicaid expansion, and he claimed Denning “finally confessed to me his reasons for rejecting it.” Rose also wrote that Denning “claimed, even today, that Kansas cannot afford the $14 million per year it would need to spend.” Further, Rose said Denning offered “lame excuses” for fighting the expansion.
