The longstanding rivalry between moderate and conservative political forces in Johnson County escalated this week, when the moderate Mainstream Coalition was forced to register a new name.
In the midst of ongoing celebrations marking the 10th anniversary of the coalition, Olathe resident Tim Golba, a pro-life and conservative activist, registered the coalition's name with the Kansas Secretary of State's office on Oct. 24.
The maneuver, made possible when the coalition forgot to reregister its name with the state in a timely fashion, gave Golba 120 days to file articles of incorporation allowing him to retain the Mainstream name.
Because the organization has been established for 10 years, McIntyre said, the coalition could file suit against Golba or others if they use the Mainstream name with the intent to misinform voters. http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=10681314&BRD=1459&PAG=461&dept_id=155725&rfi=6
