Kansas tax plan debated as Budget path draws criticism
The Kansas Legislature faces a budget gap of over 400 million. Governor Brownback proposes a plan to cut income taxes for 388,000 poor residents and raise taxes on business owners, while boosting sales, tobacco, and liquor taxes. Critics note the plan would raise taxes on the poorest 40 percent of Kansans and urge exemptions for food to protect low income households.

Diversity drives TV and film progress amid ongoing underrepresentation
The article notes rising diversity in television and cinema, with shows like Empire and Jane the Virgin leading inclusion, and film roles for people of color increasing. Yet Oscar nominations remain unrepresentative, and overall on-screen and behind-the-scenes diversity remains far short of the population share. Debra Martin Chase and Marc Morial weigh in on why sustained, perspective shaping inclusion matters beyond payroll.
