House panel backs 3.65 percent income tax hike for higher ed repairs
Kansas House Higher Education Committee voted 7-6 to back a bill raising the state personal income tax by 3.65 percent to fund repairs at six public universities and community colleges. Rep. Bill Otto urged the move, noting mounting maintenance costs, while opponents warned it burdens residents of larger counties. The measure advances to the full House as lawmakers weigh alternatives to the Regents plan including property tax shifts and bonds.
