Coalition urges tax rise to halt Kansas budget harms
A coalition of health care and education groups in Kansas urged lawmakers to raise revenue and consider tax increases to bridge a nearly 400 million dollar shortfall for the next fiscal year. They criticized five 2009 budget cuts totaling almost 1 billion dollars and warned further cuts would damage services for the poor elderly and disabled and threaten schools and public safety. The group called to delay phase outs of some tax cuts and to separate state from federal tax changes, but offered no specific sales tax exemption targets.
