Stalemate over unemployment tax cut persists in Kansas
GOP leaders failed to break a stalemate on a $155 million two year tax relief for businesses tied to removing the weekly waiting period for unemployment benefits. House and Senate disagreed over funding the change, with Democrats backing elimination of the waiting week and Republicans opposing it. Senate and House votes split as negotiators pressed to move a version with or without the waiting week. Separately, a Senate Ways and Means Committee endorsed a bill barring state pension fund investments in Sudan linked firms to pressure Darfur end.
