Dear Hazlett,

After some judicial ethic complaint(s)* that questioned Judge Kurtis Loy's financials and taxreporting it seems on September 17, 2013 (as 'advised by the commission') Kurtis Loypersonally closed one business called "Loy& Sagehorn, LLC"with FEIN#2892321 andthirteen days later attorney Kip Sagehorn changed the name of another business thencalled "Loy,Sagehorn and Harding, L.L.C"with FEIN#7608383 to "Loy& Sagehorn, L.L.C."with the same #7608383 FEINnumber.

*Judicial Commission response dated August 18,2014 to Judge Loy is attached.

According to the Secretary of States office Judge Loy still owned "Loy, Sagehorn andHarding, LLC"on November 13, 2013. Judge Loy fails to show where his 99.5% interests ofhis stocks are from November 13, 2013 and where the 0.5% interests of stock Kip Sagehornhad from the November 11, 2013 business of "Loy, Smith, & Sagehorn",

Judge Loy then closes the business of "Loy and Sagehorn, LLC"on September 17, 2014 butwhere did attorney Burton Harding go?????

On September 30,2014 the business of "Loy, Sagehorn, and Harding L.L.c."became "Loyand Sagehorn L.C.C' again but where are the shares of stock and how much does Kurtis Loyown or did he sell to Burton Harding, Kip Sagehorn, or anyone else??? Where is thedisclosure on his Judicial Financial Disclosure Report??? How can he hear at least one caseeach from Burton Harding and Kip Sagehorn in case numbers 2014LM55P and2014LM409P between November 13,2013 and September 17, 2014 and is this not to beconsidered an economic conflict of interest?

Most reasonable people would consider this a glaring economic conflict of interest.

I think it's wrong that Judge Loy admitted that he knew it was inappropriate for him tolisten to Mr. Sagehorn's cases but does not mention Burton Harding.

Now on to another disturbing issue that seriously needs your attention and investigationbut first let me state that Mark A.Werner is currently on the City of Pittsburg EconomicDevelopment Advisory Committee while Judge Kurtis Loy is the Chairman of the Board /President of the "Stilwell Heritage and Educational Foundation."

Is it okay for Judge Loy to lie to you Mr. Hazlett? Is it okay for attorney Mark Werner to lieto you when he knows very well that he is concealing the truth from you about theirmutually beneficial ongoing financial ties? I believe Judge Loy lied to you as you will seebelow.

Judge Loy indicated that his business relationship with Mark Werner ended in 1994.

Well, consider this ... In a March 13th, 2013 Economic Development Advisory Committeemeeting the official meeting minutes state in part;"Motion: Werner motioned that theCity Commission appropriate $12,100 for a facade grant to the Stillwell Heritage andEducational Foundation. Fleming seconded the Motion. All Carried, Motion approved."

The truth is that the "Stilwell Heritage and Educational Foundation" has received$66,583.00** from the City of Pittsburg since Judge kurtis loy became Judge where MarkWerner is conveniently on the city economic board. Note that Kyle Fleming is also on Cityof Pittsburg's economic board and his wife is Lori Fleming who is Judge Loy's co-Judge herein Crawford County. Must be nice ...

** Evidence is attached.

Does any reasonable person not see that Judge Loy would not want to jeopardize thepossibility of his foundation not receiving monetary support from the Pittsburg Cityeconomic committee by ruling against Mark Werner; or Kyle Fleming for that matter? Isn'tthis a prime facie evidence of continued economic ties between Loy and Werner???

Keep in mind that Judge Kurtis Loy has commercial loans from Commerce Bank. Guess whowas Commerce Bank, N.A.,Vice President (of commercial lending) between 1999 and2004? You guessed it!!! Mark A. Werner - and his website ishttp://www.markwernerlaw.com where he details some of his experience.

Considering that Mark Werner, Kyle Fleming, Kurtis Loy, and Larry Black are all membersof Crestwood Country Club and Larry Black and Kurtis Loy are/were on board of directorsfor the Stillwell Heritage and Education which continues to receive nice monthly chunks ofmoney seems to be an inside economic conflict of interest by giving their privateCrestwood members free public money.

To be sure, a little research will also show that even while he was an attorney Judge KurtisLoy consistently got paid by the City of Pittsburg when his former law partner MarkWerner was Mayor and/or when Mark Werner held other senior city positions.

Please don't allow them lie to you again.

Sincerely,

et'~NVJoEric M. Muathe
