Dubious Kansas endorsements unravel truthfulness of attack on federal unemployment benefit


The letter sent Wednesday to Gov. Laura Kelly had all the trappings of a legitimate appeal from the business community.

Compiled by the state Chamber of Commerce and bearing the names of 181 diverse businesses, business associations, nonprofit groups and government agencies, it called for an end to enhanced federal unemployment benefits for Kansas workers.

But the truthfulness of the campaign unraveled Thursday as multiple executives whose organizations were listed as supporters said they didn’t know anything about the letter and wouldn’t have signed it if they did.
