Kansas ends Brownback tax experiment with bipartisan repeal
The Kansas legislature overrode Gov. Sam Brownback’s veto to end the 330000 business tax exemption and roll back plans for full income tax elimination. The 2012-2017 policy missteps, driven by the Koch influence and the Chamber, produced growing deficits and funding cuts. A centrist revival in 2016-2017 restored balanced finance with property, income, and sales taxes, delivering a return to fiscal sanity.
