Governor Brownback unveiled a plan to raise cigarette taxes and consider higher sales taxes while proposing an end to state income taxes for some individuals. Legislators debate the plan amid long session length and factional divides within the Republican majority.
Kansas lawmakers from Rep. Boog Highberger and Rep. Tom Sloan oppose Governor Brownback's proposed budget, calling it a continuation of tax shifts that burden the poor and middle class.

Brownback prepared to unveil his tax proposal alongside the maneuver's progress.
