Kansas tax plan fuels debate on sales tax and school funding
Governors aide hints at a plan to cut the sales tax while Brownback proposes school financing overhaul. The shift could cost the state 311 million dollars in the budget year starting July 2018 and face concerns from lawmakers about tax burden on lower and middle income families.
