Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly vetoes proposed tax cuts favoring the wealthy

Kansas Governor Laura Kelly has vetoed a tax plan supported by the state legislature, citing concerns about a proposed "flat tax" that she believes would primarily benefit the wealthy. The plan included measures such as eliminating the state's Social Security income tax and speeding up the end of the state's food sales tax. Governor Kelly has proposed a three-tiered tax system instead. The legislature lacks the necessary votes to override the veto, potentially leading to a special session if no agreement is reached.
