Lawmaker urges repeal of LLC tax loophole in Kansas
Democratic Senator Hensley calls for repealing the 2012 Brownback era LLC income tax exemption affecting about 330000 businesses. He argues the GOP tax changes favored the wealthy, cut education and highway funds, and worsened services while the governor blamed the Legislature. He urges a transparent school finance overhaul and restoration of civil service protections, urging steps to revive Kansas starting in 2017.

Revenue secretary vows steady forecasts for Kansas
TOPEKA The acting Kansas revenue secretary told weary lawmakers that the state should dodge the huge forecast revisions seen last year, aiming to avoid 350 million dollar or 550 million dollar adjustments. He cited improved modeling and data use, noting revenue topped expectations in two months, as lawmakers debate budget gaps exceeding 340 million this year and 500 million next. Williams defended tax policy as vital to small business growth and hinted at support for loosening the LLC exemption while lawmakers push repeal to net about 250 million annually, though not enough to close the deficit.
