Senate approves 470 million tax hike plan in Kansas
The Senate backed a 470 million increase including a higher sales tax to 6.55 percent and reduced food tax for July 2016. It would cap income tax rates through 2017, target exemptions and tax credits, raise cigarette tax, and fund amnesty while maintaining protections for items like machinery and prescription drugs. House GOP negotiators warned of cash flow implications and a broad budget impasse.
