Bennett Will Not Lead Tax Cut Drive in Kansas
Gov. Robert Bennett said he will not mount a major offensive against the Legislature's push to raise the Kansas personal income tax exemption from 600 to 750. He indicated he may address the issue occasionally in speeches including a talk at the Wichita Rotary Club. Democratic leaders argue Ford era tax cuts justify raising the exemption, which they say would reduce revenue by about 16.3 million dollars. Bennett disputes this claim.
