Tax hikes at heart of coalition's fix
A coalition of Kansas groups proposes restoring a top income tax bracket for earners above 40000, ending business tax exemptions, raising the gas tax, and lowering the food sales tax to address a 350 million shortfall. The plan, backed by Rise Up Kansas, targets mainly the top 20 percent of earners and shifts the burden away from broad-based cuts.
