Susan Walker, Bourbon County Clerk, who was formally the Bourbon County Chief Financial Officer was featured in a recent story in State Affairs, a Topeka-based publication.
“Walker is… advocating for others who might find themselves in a similarly precarious position, having approached multiple Kansas lawmakers in hopes of securing expanded whistleblower protections,” according to the article.
‘Walker’s concerns spurred Rep. Carrie Barth to introduce House Bill 2160 in the House Committee on Local Government, offering legal protections for whistleblower scenarios at the local level,” according to the article.
