Severance tax to be considered by Kansas panel
A Kansas legislative panel told the Kansas Independent Oil and Gas Association that a severance tax on oil and gas will be seriously considered at the budget session next month. Proposals to close a 20 million dollar deficit include income tax hike, idle fund interest, a one cent sales tax, and a 3 mill property levy. Senator Paul Wunsch said time may not allow severance tax consideration in 30 days. Other members named Rep Bob Anderson, Rep Max Dice, Rep Vernon Williams, Rep Howard Bentley, and R C Williams.
