Governor criticizes KBA leader as audit called
Kansas Governor Sam Brownback remains sharply critical of the Kansas Bioscience Authority amid a criminal probe and leadership shakeup. Tom Thornton resigns as president and CEO after six years, salary cited at $265,000, with questions about ties and potential conflicts. Brownback demands an independently overseen forensic audit and a new chief executive with no ties to the current regime.

Medicare face-to-face rule spurs protests from doctors and agencies
Doctors and home health agencies push back against Medicare's new face-to-face rule effective April 1.
