Democratic Rep. Jim Ward and Sen. Mary Pilcher-Cook clashed over Osawatomie State Hospital after federal surveys found a systemic failure to protect patients and ensure supervision.

A 10-month sequence cited an employee rape report and a male patient, a known sex offender, engaging in inappropriate sexual behavior.
