Docking program tax plan advances in state House
The Republican led Kansas House passed a first Docking revenue package 70 to 36 and sent a revised inheritance tax bill to the Senate. The measure lowers the proposed estate tax from 790000 to 500000, keeps exemptions for immediate relatives, and raises rates on distant relatives and strangers. House leaders see possible passage but expect Senate delays on sales tax residue and other measures. A separate plan would raise a 2 to 8 percent sales tax, returning part to local governments and applying the rest to state finances, with other proposals including higher cereal beverage tax and stricter withholding.
