Senate Fails to Override Veto on Tax Bill And Budget Impact
The Kansas Senate failed to override a veto on House Bill 2178 raising rates for income 30,000 to 60,000 at 5.25 percent and 60,000 to 100,000 at 5.25 percent, with higher brackets at 5.45 and 27 percent for under 30,000. The bill would restore medical expense deductions and remove a large LLC tax exemption. The budget shortfall is projected above 500 million next year with 310 million needed this year. A coalition supported the override, but the vote fell one short as Rep. Pete DeGraaf voted aye amid a tense session.
