Governor urged to let Kansas tax bill become law
Kansas legislators backed a $1 billion tax bill to close a budget hole, with 76-48 in the House and 22-18 in the Senate. It would raise taxes by repealing the LLC loophole and reinstating a higher tax bracket, retroactive to 2017. Senate President Wagle urged Brownback to avoid a veto and balance the budget without one-time money. The bill sits on the governor’s desk.

He critiques political division, cites Pew data on ideologies by education level, and urges depoliticizing local school boards to focus on teaching critical thinking rather than partisan schooling.
