Legislative wrap up shows tax stalemate persists
House and Senate Republicans remain far apart on taxes as the wrap-up session opens. Senate President Susan Wagle backs extending the 6.3 percent sales tax, delaying cuts to 5.7 percent, and phasing out the income tax.

Senate argues the House plan would threaten next year's budget if the Kansas Supreme Court rules against the legislature in the pending $500 million case.
