Tax-cut proposals harmful, group says
The League of Women Voters of Kansas issued a news release critical of Gov. Sam Brownback’s tax-cutting plan as well as two major proposals in a House-Senate conference committee.
All three plans reduce income tax rates and eliminate income taxes on nonwage income for nearly 200,000 businesses.
The League of Women Voters of Kansas cites a study by the nonpartisan Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy that states the proposals will benefit the wealthy at the expense of low-income Kansans.
Meanwhile, the plans cut hundreds of millions of dollars in state revenue, which will hurt schools, social services and public safety, the league says.
