The case could have easily cost Kansas $150,000 or more to pursue, Murray says. Six's office notes that former Kansas attorney general Phil Kline once spent more than $1 million in state tax dollars defending a legal opinion on requiring health-care providers to report teenage sex; he lost the case...
