Attorney General Paul Morrison, who is leaving office over a sex scandal, must decide what to do with the money in his campaign account.

State law allows Morrison to return the $49,800 in his attorney general campaign account to donors or give it to a charity, political organization or state government.

“He’s talking about charities,” said Ashley Anstaett, spokeswoman for Morrison. “We know the rules, but we haven’t decided yet.”

Anstaett said she didn’t know of anyone who is seeking a refund.

Stephen Six, a Douglas County district judge, will take over Thursday for Morrison, who acknowledged in December that he had had an extramarital affair with a former subordinate. She also accused him of professional misconduct, but he has denied those allegations.

Morrison spent $2.65 million on his successful 2006 campaign against incumbent Phill Kline, who is now Johnson County’s district attorney.
