Legislature approves plan to balance budget in Kansas
The House voted 79 45 sending the plan to Sebelius as negotiators tussle over tax provisions. A failed bill would keep taxing corporate dividends and repeal a tax increase, costing 13 million next year. The property tax accelerator could shift tax deadlines to boost local district revenue by 163 million. The package delays 213 million in school aid to July 1 to start fiscal 2004 with a positive cash balance.
