It's all but certain Kansas lawmakers will pass tax increases before wrapping up their business for the year.  But which taxes will be raised - and by how much?  That's what legislators are struggling with, as the session drags on into overtime.

The state of Kansas still needs a tax plan to fill a $400 million budget hole but so far, lawmakers have been unable to reach consensus on which taxes to raise and, by what amount.  So, the legislature heads into overtime this week, as they try to reach some kind of compromise.

A state senator from Wichita has unveiled his plan for filling a huge budget deficit: hike taxes and roll back existing tax breaks.

As Kansas struggles to fill a $400 million deficit, the governor and top Republican lawmakers appear to be at odds over the idea of reversing some of the income tax cuts enacted within recent years.

A state panel has lowered the projection for state tax collections. Officials now predict the state will collect $187 million less in taxes through June 2016 than they had previously expected. Governor Brownback is expected to release an updated budget plan later this week.
