Fight resumes over in-state immigrant tuition
Kansas lawmakers renewed the battle over in-state tuition for undocumented students. Representative Brett Hildabrand filed a bill to repeal the law allowing qualified students to pay in-state rates, arguing it rewards illegal entry. About 600 students benefit under current rules from Kansas high school graduation, three years in state residence, and pledge to become citizens.

Revenue chief urges deeper income tax cuts in Kansas
PERA Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan told legislators Kansas should further reduce individual income tax rates to stay economically competitive. He faced questions on fairness if cuts are offset by scrapping mortgage and property tax deductions and raising sales tax revenues. The Senate panel expanded hearings on Gov. Sam Brownback’s proposals, including phasing in more income tax cuts over three years and preserving the 6.3 percent sales tax. Brownback seeks to eliminate deductions for mortgage interest and residential property taxes while maintaining current sales tax.
