Child welfare advocates in Kansas are frustrated with what
they see as the Legislature's lack of action on recommendations for fixing
problems in the state's troubled foster care system.
Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly says she understands their frustrations but argues
that her administration and lawmakers are making progress. She also says it will
take time to fix long-term problems.
More than a dozen members of a child welfare task force and its subcommittees
have signed a letter urging lawmakers to do more to address problems in the
system providing foster care for abused and neglected children.
The GOP-controlled Legislature might not have much time left this year.
Lawmakers reconvene May 1 after their annual spring break and are scheduled to
wrap up their business for the year by May 17.
