Kansas legislators push classification plan for tax overhaul
The Senate tax committee will meet daily this week to push a pair of proposals allowing voters to decide on adopting a property classification system in Kansas. Senator Bud Burke said decisions are expected by Friday as business groups clash with lawmakers over preserving uniform taxation versus changing to class-based rates. The debate centers on reappraisal and potential shifts in tax burden, with Governor Carlin warning against massive shifts if classification is not approved.
