Questions have been raised about money donated to one of the Labette County commissioners.

Rural Economic Development PAC out of Austin, Texas donated almost $6,000 to Commissioner Cole Proehl through text messages, direct mail or digital support. In a forum hosted by KLKC, Proehl says he had no direct connection with that PAC.
 

Research into R.E.D PAC shows they are a Republican affiliated PAC that supports candidates who protect private property and increase rural economic development among other things. They have no direct ties to RWE or any other renewable energy company.
