From Examiner.com:
Amid conflicting signals from voters about how best to deal with the state’s budget woes, Kansas senators were floating proposals Thursday for raising taxes on items such as on groceries, cigarettes, liquor and perhaps even wealthy families’ earnings.
While the Senate Ways and Means Committee members were mulling over tax increases, lawmakers weren’t sure how much progress would be made toward settling on a mix. Legislators could also make tweaks around the edges of the budget and avoid confronting tax issues for another day.
The committee needs to raise about $500 million in new revenue for the $13 billion-plus budget it has proposed for the fiscal year beginning July 1.
