Kansans face tax plan limits as education funding drags
Funding woes lead to delays in a $213 million school fund payment and a choice to accelerate property tax collections. Gov Sebelius touts a short term fix to avoid a tax increase while lawmakers critique the session. Lawmakers push for higher taxes to protect schools and social services amid revenue declines. The package includes tax breaks for Sprint and bonds for Boeing, with continued property tax levies for schools and a stalled plan to boost education funding.
