Governor George Docking said no immediate recommendations after the Kansas Supreme Court ruled the severance tax unconstitutional. The ruling triggers potential revenue gaps of over 28 million dollars next year, with lawmakers and the governor facing pressure on replacing the tax or pursuing sales tax increases, while Docking vows to veto any sales tax hike. The decision affects the 1987 severance tax effective date and raises questions about refunds for taxes already paid, framing a tense legislative path ahead.

Action Of New School Aid Bill Is Completed
Topeka Kansas legislature finished action on a new school aid deficiency bill and Gov. Docking indicated he would sign it. The plan would divert 2 650 000 dollars from the sales tax fund to cover elementary school aid for the current year. Senate approved unanimously after Docking vetoed a prior measure taking the money from the general fund. Wunsch said diverting funds could reduce the sales tax residue payment to local governments by 500 000 to 750 000 dollars on June 2. He later conceded a second bill might be needed to cover any shortfall. The measure faced political dispute over motives.
