Kansas lawmakers race to solve big fiscal issues before their spring break

The Kansas Legislature is scrambling to address tax cuts, funding for disability services and immigration issues ahead of its annual three-week spring break starting next week. Republicans disagree over how to cut income taxes, as well as pay for other big-ticket items such as disability rights. The Legislature is having its second go at enacting income, sales and property tax cuts this year after Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly vetoed a GOP package in January because it included a single-rate, or “flat,” income tax, which she said favored the “super rich.”
