The Executive Director of the Ethics Commission chooses not to send him to Wichita to investigate this matter, likely due to the cost. Lack of enforcement only invites more abuse. Why are some Kansans expected to comply with the ethics regulations, and others are given a free pass? The Commission already has an investigator, Bill Beightel, as shown on their web page:

Does the Commission have the authority to hunt down someone who does not file. I would bet they don't. If they do not have that authority, and they did hire a private investigator (as you suggest), I would expect you to be hopping mad about government overstepping its bounds.
