House Rejects Tax Compromise in Narrow Vote
TOPEKA House votes 3 108 to kill the first Senate tax reform compromise just 54 hours before impending state worker furloughs. The rejection blocks a plan that would have raised sales tax to 6.65 percent, cut food tax, and aimed to generate about 430 million next year while freezing income tax rates through 2018. House members criticize the lack of changes to business taxes and the reliance on guaranteed payments revenue.
