Kansas lawmakers weigh budget and tax plan after school funding cuts
Statehouse officials discuss spending cuts in the last months of the fiscal year with about 129 million set to cut from K 12 education. The Senate plan would raise roughly 660 million over two years by repealing the LLC exemption and hiking individual rates. House leaders plan to meet GOP peers to decide on a rescission bill and a tax package that could bring over 1 billion in new revenue by ending the LLC exemption adding a higher rate and a new tax bracket.
