Tax gambit still might pay off
Governor Brownback’s tax cut experiment in Kansas shows two small bright spots in the Consensus Revenue Estimating Group projections. Income tax receipts may rise 1 percent next fiscal year while sales and compensating use taxes grow about 2.9 and 3.8 percent respectively, assuming more money to spend. The outlook rests on this coming legislative session and potential court-ordered school funding or higher education cuts, with the state holding by on projected General Fund balances for a couple years. Martin Hawver notes the cautious glimmer and dates the analysis to the next year.
