Governor Kelly Vetoes Reckless Flat Tax Experiment, Calls for Responsible Tax Cuts for Middle-Class Kansans

GLK Speaking

?I support responsible tax cuts, but I refuse to sign into law a reckless flat tax that would take us back to Brownback while doing next to nothing for the middle class. This flat tax experiment would overwhelmingly benefit the super wealthy, and I?m not going to put our public schools, roads, and stable economy at risk just to give a break to those at the very top."
