A dispute between Missouri Corrections and Correctional Medical Systems Inc. could force CMS to stop providing medical services to Kansas inmates. CMS bid for facilities as they existed last year, while the department wants services at remodeled institutions. The State Finance Council authorized hiring back about 100 workers as a fallback while negotiations continue.
