Budget standoff over Kansas budget plan and 21 vote rule
Kansas Senate Republicans face a budget crisis with two bills failing to reach 21 votes. Leaders seek a constitutional plan with ending balances for 2017 to 2019, likely requiring a tax package. Debates focus on PMIB borrowing, LLC loophole repeal, and a new tax bracket to raise about 1.2 billion over two years, with Democrats and moderates backing the alternative.
