Major State Issues Face Lengthy Debate in Kansas
In Topeka last week Kansas lawmakers debated Gov. Docking’s circuit breaker plan and extensions of the property tax lid, corporate tax disallowance, and school finance. The House killed the circuit breaker in committee but the measure remains alive in the Senate. The tax lid passed the Senate without a budget lid. it aims to limit tax increases and extend sales tax authority with local voter approval. The corporate disallowance could yield $26 million in state revenue if linked to a school finance formula. The homestead relief was expanded to $400 for certain elderly and disabled homeowners. The welfare takeover bill moved to the Senate, and a major junior college aid increase and out-of-district tuition repeal cleared the House.
