Governor Brownback budget slows tax cuts and raises liquor tobacco taxes
Kansas governor Sam Brownback unveiled a budget fix to slow income tax cuts and raise taxes on liquor and cigarettes. The plan projects a $648 million shortfall next fiscal year and calls for $211 million more in revenue, plus $615.5 million in cuts and transfers. It would delay eliminating a pension funding gap and divert highway funds to general state programs while keeping school aid flat through mid-2017.
