Tax cuts in Kansas spark budget battle and education concerns
Gov. Sam Brownback signed tax reductions exempting 191,000 business owners from income tax and lowering the top rate from 6.45 to 4.9 percent. Lawmakers fear revenue shortfalls near 2.5 billion, while supporters say growth will fund schools and services. A legislative forum featured Jack Wu running for State Board of Education District 4 against Democrat Carolyn Campbell. Campbell did not attend. Clardy Vinson defended Campbell’s view on education as vital, noting every child’s value. Statehouse reporter Scott Rothschild can be reached at 785-423-0668.
