Kim Reynolds returned $95 million in federal money for routine COVID-19 testing in schools, saying the state didn’t need the money. Reynolds said in a Fox News forum Thursday evening that the Biden administration doesn’t seem to understand what’s needed at this point in the pandemic. “I think he thinks the COVID just started,” she said, drawing applause from the audience at the forum, which was held in Florida. “… I said, ‘We’ve been in the classroom since August. Here’s your $95 million back.”
