Only In Kansas Can You Use Federal Funding To Lobby For More Federal Funding In Child Welfare

Kansas Child Welfare Lobbying
Campaign Finance

So why does the State of Kansas allow a private contractor of child welfare services to contemporaneously lobby for child welfare legislation, a blatant conflict of interest?

Just ask the social impact investors, or rather "The Elected Ones".

Same thing.

Basically, Kansas allows KVC to lobby Kansas for more child welfare funding to pay for lobbying for more child welfare funding.

The lobbying is called political campaigns.

Gotta fund those political campaigns!

The following is the State of Kansas lobbying registration for KVC Health System, Inc., the state's largest child welfare organization for foster care and adoption.
