Kansas Tax Plan Fails To Pass As Lawmakers Debate Rates
Lawmakers debated a Kansas tax bill raising sales taxes to 9.2 percent and 10.2 percent in some districts, while keeping income tax rates for three years and ending a plan to eliminate income taxes. Republicans and Democrats sparred over fairness to workers and businesses, with the House voting against the measure and the Senate not yet acting. A conference committee planned further talks as an alternative budget contemplates a 6 percent cut across state spending if a tax package fails.

Kansas faces loss of TANF funds over cash limit rule
Kansas officials warn that failing to raise a $25 cash withdrawal limit could jeopardize about $100 million in federal TANF block grants annually. Rep. Jim Ward notes noncompliance risk, while the Kansas agency says no direct federal mandate has been received yet. The measure also restricts TANF spending on many items, drawing national attention.
