TOPEKA, Kan. - Was it just dinner or were they dining over politics?

It is a question Governor Sam Brownback may have to answer in court.

Kansas legislators and Brownback are under investigation for possible violations of the Kansas Open Meetings Act.

The investigation comes after the Topeka Capital Journal newspaper raised suspicions that the Governor may have violated the Open Meetings Act at his Cedar Crest residence.

The Shawnee County District Attorney warned Brownback and legislators on Saturday to hold on to records connected to the social gatherings that take place at Brownback's official residence.  

House Minority Leader, Paul Davis, a Democrat from Lawrence, said political business should only happen in the light of day and within a public forum..

Brownback said a clear summary of the Open Meetings law is always presented at the beginning of every legislative dinner.
