Graves says Kansas tax relief package may be too large
Governor Bill Graves expressed sympathy for a task force proposal totaling about 200 million in business tax relief but cautioned that may be excessive. He plans a 1998 package exceeding the 119 million approved in 1997, balancing property, income, and business taxes based on Consensus Estimating Group projections. He supports much of the task force plan, including a potential 50 percent credit on machinery and equipment property taxes. He aims to keep a 10 percent equipment tax credit, but not exceed it, to keep Kansas competitive.
