Braden tax plan killed in Kansas House dispute
In Topeka the Kansas House blocked Speaker Jim Braden's plan to hold a vote on a constitutional amendment raising the sales tax from 4.25 to 5.25 percent to fund property tax relief for schools. Opponents forced a test on the measure, then moved to strike it from the debate calendar, denying the plan a needed two thirds majority. Braden protested the tactics as gamesmanship while opponents led by David Miller and Robert Vancrum pressed the pull-up vote effort.
