Senate veto override fails on tax hikes in Kansas
The Kansas Senate fell short 24 to 16 in an override bid of Gov. Sam Brownback’s veto of HB 2178 which would raise personal income tax and reinstate some business taxes. The House earlier passed an override 85 to 40 but Senate Republicans stalled, citing retroactivity concerns. Leaders blamed lack of momentum and urged further committee work on new proposals.
