Kansas Lawmakers Eye Revenue Sparks From Tax Hikes
Senator Allen notes Congress has raised the federal cigarette tax and cites a likely gas tax increase to raise about 30 million for Kansas. A 2 cent state gas tax could yield 28 million, with talks of raising drinking age and legalizing pari mutuel wagering to boost revenue. Estimates place racing revenue between 5 and 20 million, though enforcement costs behind a state racing commission are noted. Allen may back local option for wagering as pressure mounts with neighboring states already allowing it.
