JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Missouri Democratic Party chairman is claiming that Republican Eric Greitens broke campaign finance laws by using a list of charity donors to raise money in his campaign for governor.

Roy Temple filed an ethics complaint Wednesday against Greitens, a former Navy SEAL officer who founded a veterans’ charity called The Mission Continues.

The complaint is in response to an Associated Press report that a Greitens staffer had a list of Missouri Continues donors. AP found overlap between charity and campaign donors.

Greitens has denied using the donor database for his campaign.

Temple claims Greitens violated state law by not reporting the donor list as a campaign contribution.

Greitens’ campaign manager in a statement says they follow campaign finance laws.

Greitens faces Democratic Attorney General Chris Koster on Nov. 8.

CUNNINGHAM, Kan. (AP) — An 8-foot-long tusk of a mammoth uncovered earlier this year by a southern Kansas construction company has been moved to a lab at Wichita State University.

The Wichita Eagle reports that the tusk will be cleaned and prepped for display in the Kingman County city of Cunningham, where it was found as Skyland Grain LLC ran a sewer line across a grain elevator’s property.

Radiocarbon dating will be conducted to determine the tusk’s age.

The tusk was longer when first discovered, but part of it broke off during the project.

Wichita State associate anthropology professor David Hughes, who worked at tusk’s excavation site with his students, says the tusk belonged to a mammoth that was probably about 15 to 20 years about and was about 12 feet tall.

OLATHE, Kan. (AP) — Election officials in Kansas’ most populous county didn’t offer the easiest option for registering to vote until the day before voter registration ended.

The American Civil Liberties Union told The Associated Press it’s trying to determine whether other counties were doing the same thing.

The Kansas City Star reports Johnson County election officials until Monday only offered a form that requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote.

After the newspaper questioned whether doing so violated the National Voter Registration Act, the office began providing a federal form that simply requires people to attest they are citizens.

Recent court decisions have blocked Kansas from requiring proof-of-citizenship documents from people who register when getting their driver’s license or when using the federal form. Voter registration ended Tuesday in Kansas.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A Kansas man was sentenced Tuesday to 15 months in prison for helping a would-be jihadist’s unsuccessful plan to plant what they thought was a bomb at Fort Riley Army base.

Alexander Blair, 29, also was sentenced to two years of supervised probation. He was accused of loaning $100 to 21-year-old John T. Booker Jr. to store what they thought was an explosive device. The device was a fake bomb built by FBI informants. Prosecutors allege Booker intended to plant it outside the northeast Kansas base in support of the Islamic State group.

U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree handed down the sentence. Blair’s attorney sought a sentence of five years’ probation, arguing it was easy for Booker to manipulate Blair because Blair has an unusual genetic personality condition. Prosecutors pushed for the maximum five-year prison term.

Blair pleaded guilty in May to a conspiracy charge for loaning the money to Booker, who also is from Topeka.

Booker pleaded guilty in February to two felonies under an agreement calling for him to serve 30 years in prison, but he hasn’t been sentenced. He was arrested in April 2015 outside Fort Riley, about 60 miles west of Topeka, as he was trying to arm what he thought was a 1,000-pound explosive device.

Blair met Booker in January 2015, at the Islamic Center mosque in Topeka. In a court filing, Blair’s attorney said Blair was interested in Islam because he did not feel like he was “fully part” of the Christian congregations he had previously joined.

Blair has been diagnosed with Williams syndrome, a genetic disorder marked by developmental delays and a compulsion to connect with others while being unable to process social cues. Blair’s attorney said in a court filing last month that Blair’s social maturity is “similar to an 11- or 12-year-old.” A forensic psychiatrist reported in April that Blair did not believe Booker would attempt to bomb Fort Riley.

Blair’s attorney has argued that Blair would be vulnerable to physical and sexual exploitation in prison and might become violent to survive.

In a letter to the judge in August, Blair wrote that he “never wanted any harm or damage done to my country.”

“I keep trying to understand why I did it and I can’t think of any answer,” Blair wrote.

But federal prosecutors argued that neither Blair’s disorder nor his limited role in Booker’s plot negate statements Blair made to FBI agents about knowing the specifics of Booker’s plan in loaning Booker the money.

Booker plotted the bombing with two confidential FBI sources. During a court hearing in February, Booker’s attorney said Booker had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and was taking medication.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Washington University in St. Louis has stopped using sedated cats to train medical students how to insert breathing tubes down the throats of babies, effectively ending the practice in the U.S., according to a medical ethics group.

The Washington University School of Medicine said in a statement on Monday that after a “significant investment” in its simulation center, it will now provide neonatal intubation training using only mannequins and advanced simulators.

The university says improvements in simulators make the change possible. Cats currently at the university are being adopted by medical center employees.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a medical ethics non-profit, applauded the decision. The committee says the St. Louis program was the last of the 198 U.S. pediatrics programs still using cats.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge in San Francisco is set to hear from Volkswagen owners opposed to a $10 billion settlement over the automaker’s emissions cheating scandal.

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer has scheduled a hearing today to determine whether the deal is fair to consumers and should receive final approval. More than two dozen people have signed up to address the judge, who may not issue a decision at the hearing.

Breyer gave the deal preliminary approval in July. It calls for Volkswagen to spend up to $10 billion to buy back or repair about 475,000 Volkswagens and Audi vehicles with 2-liter diesel engines and pay their owners an additional $5,100 to $10,000 each.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A man is awaiting sentencing in federal court for helping a would-be jihadist’s unsuccessful plot to bomb an Army post in northeast Kansas.

Twenty-nine-year-old Alexander Blair of Topeka has a hearing scheduled Tuesday before U.S. District Judge Daniel Crabtree.

Court documents say Blair loaned $100 to another man who tried to plant what they thought was an explosive device outside Fort Riley in support of the Islamic State group.

Blair’s attorney is seeking five years’ probation. Prosecutors are pushing for the maximum five-year prison term.

Blair’s attorney has said Blair has an unusual genetic condition that made it easy for him to be manipulated by 21-year-old John Booker Jr. of Topeka.

Booker pleaded guilty in February to two felonies under an agreement calling for him to serve 30 years in prison.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Eight Missouri children were killed in accidental shootings in the two and a half years leading up to July, and the top St. Louis prosecutor thinks a new state gun law could result in even more young lives lost.

The Associated Press and the USA TODAY Network analyzed the circumstances surrounding every accidental shooting death and injury involving children ages 17 and younger in the U.S. from Jan. 1, 2014, through June 30 of this year. The more than 1,000 cases they found involved incidents in which children unintentionally shot themselves or other children, or were accidentally shot by adults.

Five of the Missouri victims were age 3 or younger. The others were teenagers.

St. Louis Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, who owns a gun, says she’s afraid a new Missouri law that allows people to carry concealed weapons without training or a permit could result in more accidental shootings.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Responses from nearly 400 Kansas law enforcement agencies and prosecutors to a survey by the state’s attorney general suggest legal Colorado marijuana is having a big impact on Kansas — and not all of it negative.

The Wichita Eagle reports that the responses indicate less marijuana is flowing into the state, but what is coming in is more potent than pot smuggled in from Mexico.

The survey also shows the legal system has been affected by changing attitudes toward marijuana, with some jurisdictions no longer enforcing pot laws.

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt says he’s concerned about the growing popularly of edibles, which are foods made with marijuana or marijuana oil.

Colorado is one of four states that have legalized marijuana. Five others will vote on legalization this fall.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says President Barack Obama will announce Monday that America’s high school graduation rate has reached a new high of 83.2 percent.

Increases in the graduation rate for the 2014-2015 school year were seen for all ethnic groups, as well as for disabled students and students from low-income families.

Still, there were significant differences between groups. Asian Americans had a 90.2 percent graduation rate, while whites were at 87.6 percent, followed by Hispanics at 77.8 percent, African-Americans at 74.6 percent and Native Americans at 71.6 percent.

The growth in graduation rates has been steady since states adopted a uniform way of tracking students. In 2008, the Bush administration ordered states to begin using a formula that is considered a more accurate count of how many actually finish school.
