House Action to Suspend 1.75 Mill Tax in Kansas
The Kansas House voted 63 to 43 to suspend the 1.75 mill state property tax for a year, funding lost revenue by general fund appropriations to colleges, mental hospitals, and the schools for the blind and deaf. Senate approval followed, sending bills to Gov. Docking. Republicans mainly supported the move, Democrats questioned its wisdom. Senate also tentatively approved a $504,000 Emergency Fund boost, likely vetoed by Docking.
