Legislators Debate Kansas Severance Tax Plan
In Topeka the Kansas Legislature opens debate on a severance tax proposed by Rep. Fred Meek. The plan would tax oil and gas at 24 percent of market value with 1.5 percent for stripper wells, adding to ad valorem taxes and aiming to raise about 9 million dollars annually. Gov. Mallmark cautions against new taxes until gaps in the revenue structure are closed and notes the plan faces strong oil and gas lobbying. The measure draws mixed support from school groups and agriculture boards amid a long history of attempted severance taxes.
