Patched-Up Program Ends Need for Special Session in Kansas
TOPEKA AP The Kansas Legislature closed its 1957 session after a last minute tax package balanced the budget. Gov. George Docking said a special session unlikely and urged frugality in state departments. The plan raises 13 million in new revenue, taps 6 million from reserves, and includes oil and gas severance tax, cigarette tax, higher corporate and individual income taxes, expanded sales tax base, liquor and liquor tax changes, and liquor import limits. House and Senate approved the package, with final adjustments to elementary school aid and high school funding, leaving a remaining budgetary gap to be addressed in 1958.
