Tax Disallowance Backers Sparse in Kansas Senate
In Topeka, Senator Bennett said there is little support in the Kansas Senate for continuing corporate disallowance. He favors raising corporation income tax rates to match the roughly $26 million raised in 1972, a view he says aligns with most senators. The House planned to debate 1973 continuation, with expected approval. Gov. Docking advocates continuing the disallowance as central to funding the 1974 state budget.
