Oops.Kansas Department of Children and Families inadvertently sent out a news release before the election that incorrectly claimed poverty in Kansas had declined under Gov. Sam Brownback and did not issue a correction to the media when it became aware of the inaccuracy.The release, issued Oct. 20, release said the state’s poverty rate had dropped 2.3 percent between 2011 and 2013. When the Kansas Health Institute notified the agency the rate was not accurate, the department issued a correction to the KHI but not to any other media, it was reported.According to KDCF officials, department staffers combined figures from separate poverty measures by mistake.“We misread the report,” a spokesperson said.
