Finney proposes tax hike plan for Kansas schools
Mrs. Finney pitches a 45 mill levy or 270 dollars per 50 000 home to fund schools, favors ending most sales tax exemptions, allows video gambling via Kansas Lottery with expected 30 million in 1993 and 50 million after, and seeks 60 million more for tax relief from reserves. She aims to retain only prescription drug exemptions while suggesting a 1.5 or 2 percent sales tax on exempt items to raise 105 million, arguing no new taxes for Kansans. Republicans react.
