Lieutenant Gov. Jeff Colyer is not answering questions about a new loan he's made to Governor Sam Brownback's campaign.
A financial disclosure filing shows Colyer loaned Brownback's campaign $500,000 in August.
He made similar loans last December and this July, but both were paid back within two days.
At a campaign event yesterday in Wichita, Colyer refused to answer questions about the loans or the origin of the money he's lending to Brownback's campaign.
Brownback campaign spokesman John Milburn says the loans amount to simple "cash management."
Brownback is in a tight re-election race with Democratic candidate Paul Davis.
Davis' spokesman Chris Pumpelly says Kansans should know where Colyer is getting the money to loan to Brownback's campaign.
