Moody's Flags Kansas Court Ruling as Credit Negative
Moody's Investors Service called last week's Kansas school finance ruling a credit negative for the state, noting it comes as Kansas faces revenue gaps from income tax cuts enacted last year. The ruling compounds concerns as the legislature projected an $800 million, about 13 percent, revenue decline in fiscal 2014 starting July 1, with sales tax rates set to revert to 5.7 percent after sunset of previous hikes.
