Tax Hike: Kansas Legislature extends sales tax rise and cuts
Senator Les Donovan defends a large tax increase tied to about $1 billion in income tax cuts since 2012, while Senator Jeff Longbine and others critique tactics and the plan's impact. The package raises the statewide sales tax to 6.5 percent, keeps food tax at 5.95 percent temporarily, and freezes income tax rates through 2017, with spending cuts and a $24 million business hit.
