Governor Brownback proposes slower future personal income tax cuts and higher tobacco liquor taxes to close a 710 million shortfall. The plan shifts toward consumption taxes to reward productivity while preserving current rate cuts and corporate exemptions, and adds 162 million in fees on Medicaid insurers over two years.
The FY 2016 and FY 2017 general fund spending is 6.2 billion each year with revenues of 5.65 billion in 2016 and 5.77 billion in 2017. Major cuts include 107 million from K 12 education and 100 million from the Highway Fund. A 4 percent across the board reduction of 6.9 million is planned for cabinet agencies. Tax changes boost tobacco taxes to 2.29 per pack and 25 percent of wholesale price for other tobacco products, raise Equor enforcement to 12 percent, and accelerate reductions in income tax deductions totaling in the low hundreds of millions over two years. The next steps: House and Senate budget committees review the governor's proposal after MLK Day, with session adjournment targeted in April and a wrap up in late April to mid May.
EU officials warn funding stability is needed while Brownback proposes abolishing the basic school formula in favor of district block grants. The plan would cut about 107 million yearly in K 12 operating budgets, reallocating part of the grant to KPERS and trimming remaining base aid by 63 million. Colleges largely unchanged with universities leaning on tuition as state support shrinks.
The Eldridge Hotel plans a six story expansion adding 50,000 square feet and 54 new rooms, including multipurpose space and dining, funded by a tax rebate under the Neighborhood Revitalization Act.

The plan faces timing and election season considerations as Lawrence votes on a city commission likely to weigh the rebate before final planning.
