Kansas flat tax plan faces political headwinds
Kansas lawmakers sent a flat income tax proposal to Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly. The plan would tax all Kansans earning over 6000 dollars at 5.15 percent, risking annual relief of over 300 million while potentially reducing funds for schools and prisons. Democrats and some economists warn the move could burden middle earners and strain state services amid a looming national recession.
