Steven Harris won Senate confirmation as Kansas energy director by a 25 to 7 vote amid protests from critics who called him unqualified. He pledged to strengthen the agency and push for a larger budget to hire 5 to 8 staffers, while opponents cited past controversies over federal grants and plans. Harris, 28, had previously moved from Ohio to head the agency last August.
