TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback has appointed three people in the financial services industry, an attorney and a cattleman to a new commission that will study pension issues.
The Republican governor announced his five appointments Monday. The new commission will study whether Kansas should move toward a 401(k)-style pension plan for teachers and government workers.
Brownback’s appointees include Edward Condon, of Leawood, an executive in a capital management firm; Christopher Long, of Mission Hills, president and founder of a capital management firm, and Richard Stumpf, a Wichita financial planner.
He also named Paul Seyferth (SEYE’-furth), a member of a Kansas City-area law firm that’s represented management in employment litigation, and Brian Winter, a Dodge City rancher and cattle feedlot manager.
