Phill Kline in Hot Water over Residency, Truancy

Looks like Phill Kline has once again found himself in the middle of controversy. This time though it seems to have caught him by surprise.

KCTV 5 Exclusive 8 month investigation into Johnson County DA Phil Kline has uncovered major news that is likely to force the DA to resign or be removed from office.

An investigation started in January of this year first uncovered--after a lawsuit due to Johnson County refusing to cooperate--that Phil Kline is making $147,000 per year while only working an average of 29 hours per week.

Law requires that Phil Kline reside in Johnson County, where he serves as DA. If he doesn't he must "resign or be removed from office."

After weeks of staking out a crummy apartment--located on top of a storage facility owned by Phil Kline supporters where he pays $400 per month--KCTV5 never once saw Mr. Kline or his wife come home to the apartment.

It seems the Johnson County Republican precinct committee people who elected Phill were more concerned about giving him a platform to persue his personal agenda than silly rules like residency requirements. Fortunately the rest of Johnson County has somebody with years of experience fighting crime in their community to support these days.
