Miss Cleo no longer to work in Kansas
TOPEKA, Kan. — Miss Cleo has packed up her tarot cards and ended her psychic hot line business in Kansas under an agreement reached with the attorney general's office.
The Associated Press
The office reached the settlement yesterday with two Florida-based companies involved with Miss Cleo, said spokesman Mark Ohmeier said.
"Basically, the two companies have agreed that they will no longer do business in the state of Kansas and they will also forgive any outstanding debts owed by Kansas consumers," Ohlemeier said.
Kansas and four other states Indiana, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, resolved lawsuits against Access Resource Services Inc., and Psychic Readers Network Inc., both in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
"The two companies are connected, and both were involved in the psychic entertainment service known as Miss Cleo," Ohmeier said.
Ohlemeier said Kansas worked with the other states but each filed its own lawsuit and reached its own settlement. He said Kansas also worked with Connecticut and Ten-
nesse but didn't know the out come there.
Last year, Attorney General Carla Stovall started looking into complaints about Miss Cleo.
"The lawsuits in the other states were similar to the one filed in Kansas. All the states have been talking with the companies to resolve these cases," Ohlemeier said.
Speaking with a Caribbean accent, Miss Cleo appeared in television commercials promising insights into love, money and other personal matters. The ads included a hot line number to call.
Sean Moynihan of New York attorney for Access Resource, said, "We are happy to bring this to a resolution."
Ohlemeier said the office received about 160 complaints, some dating back to 1997. He said most complaints dealt with the claim that during a call to the hot line, the first few minutes of the reading were free.
He said those minutes were exhausted by the caller giving personal information.
In a separate legal action, Missouri Attorney General Jay Nixon last year sued Access Resources, which later was fined $75,600.
Crime focus of last gubernatorial debate
The Associated Press
TOPEKA, Kan. — While they stuck to their main themes last night in their bid for governor, Republican Tim Shallenburger and Democrat Kathleen Sebelius did turn up the heat in trading barbs, especially on the issue of crime.
Near the end of the hour-long televised debate, Shallenburger compared his legislative voting record with Sebelius on various anti-crime measures.
It was last of five scheduled debates between the two candidates before the Nov. 5 general election.
ACLU point of view of most of these issues and voted soft on crime," he said.
"I think if you ask people who were in the Legislature when we both were there, there is one thing you would hear: Tim Shallen-burger was tough on crime and Kathleen Sebelius took the
Shallenburger ticked off several topics—capital punishment, drug laws, registration of sexual predators—which he supported while his opponent didn't when they both served in the Legislature a decade ago.
But Sebelius managed to get in few verbal punches of her own.
"I did make some votes different in the Legislature than Tim Shallenburger. I have tried not to pick votes out of isolation and to explain my views on issues," Sebelius said.
"But to challenge my belief that we need safe community ... I think is an act of desperation in the closing days of the campaign," she added.
Sebelius also complained that Shallenburger has sent a fundraising letter calling called her "a lying, dangerous liberal who will ruin our schools and endanger our children."
After the debate, Sebelius passed out copies of the letter, signed by Shallenburger and seeking contributions so he could purchase television time for his ads.
As they have said before, both candidates said they wouldn't cut state funding for public schools
and would work to find ways to cut government waste.
Among the key issues facing the candidates are education and how to deal with the state's sagging revenues.
Shallenburger again said he wouldn't raise taxes while Sebellius stopped short of making a notax pledge.
Neither have offered many specifics about what they would do.
Revenue for the $4.4 billion state budget hasn't lived up to expectations, and the budget is expected to wind up with a $103 million deficit on June 30 if no cuts are made.
Sebelius again pushed her idea of a "top-to-bottom review" of state government to find waste an inefficiency. Shallenburger also promises to cut government waste.
More than half of the state budget is spent on public schools, and both candidates have vowed not to cut spending for elementary and secondary education.
Both candidates called education their top priority.
"I did make some votes different in the Legislature than Tim Shallenburger. I have tried not to pick votes out of isolation and to explain my views on issues."
Kathleen Sebelius Democratic gubernatorial candidate
Shallenburger said he didn't support forcing school districts to consolidate, but it should be left to local districts.
For her part, Sebelius said, "I think we need in these tough times to look for ways that voluntary consolidation is accelerated."
The two candidates began their series of debates on Sept. 7 at the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson.
They also met in Wichita on Sept. 16; Colby, Oct. 6, and Lake Quivira in Johnson County on Oct. 8.
