Kansas tax cut plan revised to avoid future deficits
TOPERA lawmakers rewrote a plan to cut income and sales taxes in Kansas to prevent six year budget shortfalls. The revised package reduces personal rates and phases out taxes on 191,000 businesses while lowering the sales tax to 5.7 percent in July 2013, seeking a July 2018 surplus. Governor Brownback advocates deeper cuts, but critics fear reduced aid to public services.

The long running event ended mid April, two weeks early, after inspectors checked indoor coops for baby chickens and ducks. Assistant City Attorney Chad Sublet says exemptions do not apply, amid broader enforcement of local animal housing rules.
