"Kansas Governor Vetoes GOP Tax Cut Plan Favoring Wealthy"

Kansas Governor Laura Kelly vetoed a flat tax proposal, calling it "reckless" and reminiscent of previous disastrous tax cuts. The proposal, estimated to cost $1.589 billion over three years, would primarily benefit the wealthy. Kelly voiced disapproval of a single or flat tax structure and plans to advocate for a bipartisan tax plan focused on reducing income, sales, and property taxes, vowing to ensure tax relief for middle-class families even if it means calling a special session.

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.
