Brownback targets Kansas tax plan confrontation
Gov. Sam Brownback on Monday blasted a Senate GOP endorsed tax plan as inadequate to close the budget gap. Lawmakers weigh higher personal rates and taxing LLC income while proposals for spending cuts loom. Business leaders oppose ending LLC exemptions and urge no income tax move. Senate GOP leadership fast tracks the bill with hearings and a potential floor vote later in the week. The plan faces strong opposition from business groups and school boards associations.
