Kansas Democrats push Dillmore plan to cut corporate taxes

Nile Dillmore seek to repeal three exceptions that mostly help multistate firms, aiming to cut corporate taxes by up to 1.1 percentage points and fund smaller business breaks.

Hawver notes the proposal’s political risk and its potential to reshape business ties in a conservative state.
