Kansas House votes to repeal tax breaks and cut food tax
The Kansas House passed a bill repealing several sales tax exemptions to generate about 60 million dollars annually but offset the rise by lowering the food tax rate by one percentage point in 2020. Three Democratic Lawrence reps opposed the bill, while Republican Tom Sloan supported it. The vote spurred talk of a broader tax reform and new school funding discussions as committees moved a separate bill for a revised education funding plan.
