Kansas lawmakers weigh how to spend extra tax windfall
Kansas faces a surge in state revenue as federal tax cuts lift Kansas taxable income. Estimates show $138 million more in the current fiscal year, with $180 million and $188 million increases projected the next two years. Lawmakers debate how to use the extra funds for raises, health care, and crucially school finance, amid the Kansas Supreme Court mandate for adequate K-12 funding. Hawver notes this may boost the budget but also fuels disputes over education spending versus other state needs.
