Republican legislators have developed a plan for returning the Kansas Statehouse's meditation room to its original spot after Gov. Laura Kelly moved it to create more space for her staff.
Senate President Ty Masterson outlined the proposal this week during a meeting of top lawmakers. The meditation room was on the second floor near offices for Kelly and her staff. Lawmakers mandated in past state budgets that it stay there but forgot last year. That allowed Kelly to commandeer the space for members of an expanded constituent services staff during the coronavirus pandemic.
Masterson's plan gives her staff another suite and shuffles various offices throughout the building.
