Legislative Report From State Representative Jim Allen
In the House last week the main bill was a School Finance proposal moving out of committee after three weeks with four failed motions to pass. The bill passed 11 to 10, reflecting Governor Carlin’s plan, and could raise statewide property tax by 69.7 million during an election year. A sales tax funding idea for schools remains unlikely with three weeks left, while a mixed tax approach may emerge later. Contacts: Jim Allen, State Representative, Statehouse Topeka KS 66612. 913 296 7684 weekdays. 242 2503 weekends.
