Brownback signs Kansas income tax cut bill
Gov Sam Brownback signed a law enacting further income tax cuts over five years while funding the changes with higher sales taxes and other adjustments. He touted the move as making the tax code fairer and flatter for families and small businesses, with extended relief and a push to attract business to Kansas. The plan lowers rates, alters the standard deduction, and trims the sales tax rate to 6.15 percent, generating about $777 million over five years. Senate opposition argued it shifts the burden to lower-income and middle-class Kansans.
