Tax plan debate spurs revenue options in Kansas
Gov Brownback threatens credits for veterans as part of tax reform. A Kansas plan from Sen Abrams seeks funding by removing large exemptions including hospital and nonprofit exemptions, machinery used for resale, and a few smaller saves. Senate leaders warn exemptions may surprise affected groups while Democrats caution about untested revenue.

Brownback pushes sales tax hike and income tax cut plan
Gov. Sam Brownback unveiled a plan to raise the state sales tax to 6.65 percent while exempting about 388,000 low income individuals from income tax, a move aimed at balancing a roughly 400 million dollar budget. The plan would keep business exemptions largely intact but tax certain limited liability company payments as wage income to raise about 23 million annually. A 50 cent rise in the cigarette tax to 1.29 per pack is proposed, short of the 1.50 cited earlier.
