Attorney Rene Netherton argues Kansas foster care is bogged in documentation as private agencies manage cases under privatization. Critics say while audits show improvements, adoption, foster parent training, and information management remain weak. Senate leader Kerr warns against settlement terms exposure.

Rural phone company warns large rate hike without aid
Rural Telephone Service Company Inc seeks a 2.7 million dollar subsidy increase as hearings open before the Kansas Corporation Commission. The dispute centers on reducing its 4.6 million dollar annual Universal Service Fund subsidy by up to 3 million, which could raise monthly bills by 50 to 100 dollars and threaten service for about 12,000 customers across 29 communities in 15 counties. The case could set a precedent for other rural providers as regulators audit state funds and adjust payments to major carriers already serving most Kansans.
