Tax hike needed to keep state in the black
Kansas faces a budget gap of more than 800 million over the next two fiscal years under current tax laws. Lawmakers pursue revenue increases to fund proposed spending without cutting agencies or pension funding, while Gov. Brownback's stance on tax hikes remains uncertain. The House vote on a previous tax plan failed with a veto by Brownback and an unsuccessful override effort.
