TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — The Kansas Senate is expected to confirm appointees for several state posts, including the three members of the Kansas Board of Regents.

Republican Majority Leader Terry Bruce says the confirmation votes will be taken Wednesday.

Goodland lawyer Joseph Bain and former Democratic State Rep. Bill Feuerborn of Garnett were appointed to the Board of Regents by Republican Gov. Sam Brownback in August, along with Zoe Forrester Newton who currently serves as the city attorney for Sedan.

Kari Bruffett also is up for confirmation as secretary of Aging and Disability Services.

Bruffett has been serving as interim secretary since May, replacing Shawn Sullivan, who is now serving as the state budget director.
