Kansas GOP agrees on amnesty and deductions to balance budget
Kansas Republicans edge toward tax balance with two cette proposals to end most income tax deductions and launch a fall tax amnesty for delinquent payers. The plans aim to raise about 127 million while closing a 406 million shortfall, though major disputes remain over sales tax increases and rolling back 2012 relief for business owners and farmers. Senate debates continued without final votes as House leadership delays a full plan.
