Kansas Republicans in House and Senate caucuses voiced mounting frustration over a deficit exceeding 400 million dollars. A Senate plan would push a tax hike of about 500 million, while House panels proposed revenue-raising bills including 134 million from repealing a business tax break and a separate 362 million measure for the new fiscal year. Leaders urged a vote and warned of spending cuts if parties fail to address taxes, with sessions unlikely over Memorial Day weekend.
