By the Associated Press:
Republican lawmakers in Kansas are moving toward formally condemning Democratic Governor Laura Kelly’s decision to give prison inmates COVID-19 vaccinations ahead of others.
The state Senate’s health committee agreed Tuesday to sponsor a resolution from its GOP chair, Sen. Richard Hilderbrand, that calls on Kelly to reverse her policy on inoculating inmates. The full Senate could debate it later this week.
Kelly says the policy protects prison workers and others.
Meanwhile, the state Department of Labor says it brought its system for providing unemployment benefits back online as planned Tuesday morning after shutting it down for 2 1/2 days to add security protocols to combat fraudulent claims.
