It’s back to work in Topeka today. State Lawmakers will focus on the budget during the 2^nd half of this year’s legislative session. Governor Sam Brownback is asking the legislature to consider cutting more taxes. To balance those new cuts, Brownback wants to eliminate various tax deductions and not allow the current sales tax rate to expire. Democrats say the state has already made significant tax cuts and any more reductions would dramatically hurt funding for education and social services.
