Governor vetoes flat tax proposal
Kansas Governor Laura Kelly vetoes a Republican plan for a single 5.25 percent state income tax on all income above 6150 dollars. She supports some relief, but says the measure would be a reckless flat tax like Brownback, offering little for the middle class. Both parties push tax relief tied to inflation and eliminate the food sales tax this year.
