Democratic Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly on Friday vetoed a bill limiting foreign land ownership, in a move Republicans castigated as apathetic toward national security threats.
Proposed restrictions in Kansas on the foreign ownership of land died Friday when the state's Democratic governor vetoed a bill that top Republican lawmakers argued would protect military bases from Chinese spying. The Kansas House's top GOP leader accused Gov. Laura Kelly of 'apathy' toward serious national security threats from China and other nations declared by the U.S. government to be adversaries 'of concern,' including Cuba, Iraq, North Korea and Venezuela.
To the extent that this bill affects anyone, it affects everyday people, those who are trying to live the American dream,' Democratic state Rep. Melissa Oropeza, of Kansas City, Kansas, said ahead of one vote on the bill.
