House advances broad tax and budget measures in Kansas
The House passed an 88 to 34 sales tax exemption bill drawing Senate hostility over a nearly 60 million revenue loss. Opponents argued the abortion information proposal reflects a religious view, while a flat tax plan would tax 27 percent of federal liability for about 950000 Kansans. A child support bill moves to committee and the Regents budget spared most cuts, with a 3.5 percent faculty raise and 2 percent operating increases.
