Kansas Governor Laura Kelly to Veto New Tax Cuts, Calls for Special Session

Governor Kelly's decision comes after lawmakers passed tax cuts she deems unsustainable, sparking a special legislative session to renegotiate.

Kansas lawmakers passed a new tax cut package, which Governor Laura Kelly plans to veto due to concerns over budget sustainability.
The disagreement centers on the structure of personal income tax rates and the potential for future budget shortfalls.
Governor Kelly has called for a special legislative session to address the tax cuts, emphasizing a cap on annual tax reductions.
The latest tax proposal from the legislature aims to simplify tax brackets but is projected to exceed Kelly's budget cap by millions.
Elections loom as both parties grapple with tax policies, with Republicans pushing for broader cuts and Democrats urging fiscal caution.
