Kansas legislators wrap the 1991 session as Gov. Finney contemplates vetoes on a tax package. Senate leaders praise rail loan aid and preserved school programs while warnings grow that a veto could devastate budget relief. Leaders discuss overriding the veto and the budget’s impact on property taxes and school funding.
TOPEKA AP reports a conservative state budget sent to Gov. Finney increases education spending while trimming other programs. Legislators approve four appropriations totaling about $2.53 billion for the new fiscal year starting July 1, 1992, with ending treasury balance near $129 million. A tax hike bill of $138.3 million is expected but vetoed by Finney, risking deeper cuts.
In Topeka AP report the House approved 109 to 15 and the Senate 31 to 5 a compromise bill extending Kansas local property tax lid rules to at least July 1 1993. The plan allows cities to collect the same tax from a property as valuations rise, with limited increases to cover nine mandated items like employee health insurance. Governor Joan Finney now considers the measure.
