Study criticizes tax cut plan as Senate schedules debate
A national tax study group says the proposed Kansas tax cuts would raise taxes on many low and middle income residents despite promises of broad relief. ITEP estimates the plan would cut state revenue by 600 million dollars annually and repeal credits for renters and other aid, hitting the bottom 40 percent hardest while the top 1 percent gain about 19 thousand dollars on average. Lawmakers clash over fairness with Democrat Nile Dillmore alleging elitism and Republicans arguing the cuts spur investment and jobs.
