Kansas Republicans back interim plan on school finance
In Topeka and Boston, GOP caucuses aligned with the interim committee school finance bill proposing an optional income tax increase to shift school funding from property taxes. Senate and House leaders signaled support for the committee bill, with debates on income tax rate, funding for transportation and junior colleges, welfare administration, and an expanded homestead program. Senate Democrats attacked the plan as a tax raise shifting burden, while not endorsing either option.
