wasn't it snotty scotty walker..that had some of his people abusing funds for their vets?
Kris Kobach on board of veterans group not using money for vets..
A business watchdog has found that only a small portion of money from a Missouri-based veterans group that Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is associated with actually goes toward helping veterans.
Kobach is listed as a member of the advisory board for Veterans in Defense of Liberty, a Springfield, Mo.,-based nonprofit with a stated mission of upholding the Constitution, the Kansas City Star reports. Kobach is also running for governor of Kansas.
The Better Business Bureau released a report this week giving the group a failing grade because only a small fraction of the nonprofits money goes toward veterans issues.
This is the first Ive heard of any suggestion that the monies raised by the charity arent going to the various causes for veterans, Kobach said Thursday.

..... gained by connecting himself to a veterans group and enhancing his political bonafides. But he could give a hoot less whether the fiduciary responsibilities are full filled to these same veterans.
All for show - lacking in substance.
