Kansas Governor Sues to Halt Church Congregations Ahead of Easter
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In Kansas, Democratic Governor Laura Kelly is suing Republican lawmakers
to stop them from overturning her executive order limiting the size of
church gatherings ahead of Easter Sunday services.

In Minnesota, Attorney General Keith Ellison is pressing charges against
a landlord who violated a state order barring evictions during the
pandemic.

In Florida, billions of dollars' worth of tomatoes, squash and other
crops are rotting in fields, as supply chains that normally provide the
food service industry with fresh produce have broken down.

On Thursday, Florida Governor Ron De Santis claimed the coronavirus
"doesn't seem to threaten" children, and falsely stated that nobody
under the age of 25 has died of COVID-19 in the U.S.
