Kansas House kills bill to raise income tax exemption
The Kansas House defeated a bill to raise the income tax exemption from 600 to 750, signaling unlikely passage for any income tax cut this session. The vote 49 47 crossed party lines as Rep. W H Shattuck led the defeat. A separate Senate proposal for a flat 20 percent income tax cut faces dim prospects.
