Governor Kelly Unveils Bipartisan, Comprehensive Plan
to Responsibly Cut Kansans' Taxes
GLK tax plan
?As Kansans feel the pain of rising costs, it?s clear that we need to cut taxes. This plan provides relief for middle-class Kansans, is fiscally responsible, and keeps seniors and families in their homes ? which is why it?s garnered bipartisan support. The other tax proposal out there ? the flat tax ? does relatively little for the middle class. Kansans have seen how reckless tax experiments work out, and they don?t want to go back to the days of four-day school weeks, crumbling roads, and crippling debt.??
