CYMI
KEY QUOTE: “Time and again, we have exceeded our estimated tax collections, providing further proof that we can responsibly axe taxes on groceries, retirement, and property for Kansans,” Governor Kelly said.
According to the Governor, Kansans saved $4.9 million in March partly due to a reduction in the state’s sales tax on food.
Kansas Governor Laura Kelly announced on Monday, April 3, that tax collections for the month of March totaled $758.3 million. This is about $64.9 million - 9.4% - more than the monthly estimate.
The Governor also noted that corporate income tax collections totaled $102.6 million, which is $75.6 million - 279.9% - more than what was estimated. The total was also $74.9 million - 271.1% - more than what was collected in the same month of the previous year.

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
'Flat tax' will hurt the poor, benefit the wealthy. Janis Lee, Special to the Salina Journal April 2, 2023 KEY QUOTE: "The “Axing Your Taxes” plan is a responsible approach to tax cuts, calling for the complete and immediate elimination of the sales tax on food, diapers, and feminine hygiene products, a four-day tax holiday on school supplies in August, and cuts to taxes for retirees. I urge the legislature to think about where we were just a few years ago before moving forward with the flat tax and ask if all we’ve achieved is worth the risk."
