Kansas Senator Anthony Hensley calls for higher taxes

on

Appearing on Sunday’s episode of the KPTS television public affairs program Ask Your Legislator, Kansas Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, Democrat from Topeka, called for delaying scheduled Kansas tax cuts.

According to Hensley, when the legislature cuts taxes, it “erode[s] the base of the treasury.”

There’s no appetite for tax increases, but the legislature should delay the phase-in of some of the tax cuts that have been passed, he said.
