Brownback endorses flat tax on income
Governor Sam Brownback backs a flat 4.6 percent state income tax with higher cigarette and liquor taxes as part of budget fixes. He would not veto flat-tax bills if sin tax hikes pass and supports retaining the current two-bracket system as an alternative. Senate Bill 214 faces debate. Brownback also signaled repeal of the 2012 business-owner tax exemption.
