Kansas legislators must whittle down a long list of attractive proposals that have passed one or both houses if they’re to cut taxes this year.

And the work is likely to prove difficult.

Republican Gov. Sam Brownback proposed overhauling the individual income tax code. But lawmakers have been aggressive as well in considering different scenarios for reducing different taxes.

Both the House and Senate have approved bills to reduce income and sales taxes, and both have passed measures aimed at holding down local property taxes. Their negotiators were scheduled to start meeting Monday to work on the final version of a package.

Each possible tax cut has significant support, but lawmakers can’t include too much without pushing the state toward large budget cuts.
