The Kansas governor vetoed a bill to extend tax exemptions for stripper wells, arguing no evidence would show wells saved and that the state would lose revenue. Supporters cited a Kansas Geological Survey study estimating over 5,000 wells could shut down due to taxes and low prices. Critics say the veto harms farmers and could foreclose future oil recovery if prices rise.
