Attorney David Harding of Wakeeney, KS; cheating loser 
The state of Kansas presented David J. Harding with a law license in 1974.
The Kansas Disciplinary Board found David guilty of the following misconduct.
As a consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Judicial Misfits sitting on the Kansas Supreme Court punished David by gifting him with a complimentary 90-day suspension of his law license.
As we speak (ca. November 2012) David practices at 515 Russell Avenue in Wakeeney, Kansas.
David’s misconduct took place while he was the City Attorney for the City of Wakeeney, Kansas and also served as County Attorney for Trego County during the same time.
David requested that he be allowed to participate in the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System (KPERS) as an employee of Wakeeney, a request the City Council subsequently approved. In addition to the City, David also participated in the KPERS program due to his employment by the County.
David’s fee agreement with the City required the City to pay him a monthly retainer of $610. David charged the City an hourly fee for items not included in the retainer. Subsequently, David asked the City to pay his hourly fees through payroll so the fees could be considered KPERS income. As a result of David’s request, Charlene Neish, a City Councilwoman, began to do research on the subject and believed that David was not eligible for the pension contributions it paid to KPERS on David behalf for the past twenty-seven (27) years. City Council subsequently, asked KPERS for additional information.
At some point, David learned that certain City Officials were using City property or allowing their associates to do so for their personal benefit. Subsequently, KPERS stated in order to be eligible, a public employee must work 1,000 hours or more per year. This led KPERS to conclude that David was only eligible for six (6) of the twenty-seven (27) years he had claimed.
In an effort to get even with City Officials regarding the KPERS ruling, David set out to repeatedly disclose confidential attorney-client information aimed at defaming numerous city officials. His efforts did not bear any fruit.
As a consequence of his misconduct, the apologists for Judicial Misfits sitting on the Kansas Supreme Court punished David by gifting him with a complimentary 90-day suspension of his law license.
As we speak (ca. December 2012) David practices at 515 Russell Avenue in Wakeeney, Kansas.
