Nebraska job ad for nurses touts lack of vaccination requirement
CBSN
Nebraska's veterans affairs agency is facing questions from a state lawmaker after it published job advertisements for nurses touting the fact that the state doesn't require its employees to get coronavirus vaccinations.
The ads on a state jobs website prominently note the lack of vaccination requirements for state employees, right after mentioning a $5,000 hiring bonus. In a separate mail advertisement, the state lists "No mandated COVID-19 vaccination" as one of the "many great benefits" of its nursing jobs. State Sen. Carol Blood, of Bellevue, said she inquired about the ad after constituents with loved ones in Nebraska's state-run veterans homes brought it to her attention. Blood said she understands that the state faces a chronic nursing shortage but was concerned because many veterans' home residents are elderly and sick.
Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church, a megachurch in Southlake, Texas, has been indicted on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, stemming from alleged incidents dating back to the 1980s, the Oklahoma attorney general's office announced Wednesday. We are aware of the actions being taken by the legal authorities in Oklahoma and are grateful for the work of the justice system in holding abusers accountable for their actions. We continue to pray for Cindy Clemishire and her family, for the members and staff of Gateway Church, and for all of those impacted by this terrible situation.
