House tax leader shelves EITC cut
Kansas House Taxation Committee chair Rep. Richard Carlson rejected a Senate plan to cut half of the state EITC, saying the move was too controversial for now. The Senate had approved a roughly $40 million EITC reduction to fund a larger Homestead Property Tax Refund, a shift supporters say aids low income homeowners and seniors while critics warn it harms the poor. Carlson negotiates with the Senate on broader tax measures as lawmakers aim to wrap up the session. Sister Therese Bangert of the Sisters of Charity welcomed Carlson’s stance and urged lawmakers to reexamine property tax relief to protect seniors from losing their homes.
