Tax fight with pizza magnate could affect Kansas legislation

Posted on May 16, 2016

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A multimillion dollar income tax dispute involving a former Kansas businessman could influence whether Gov. Sam Brownback signs a bill allowing taxpayers to challenge rulings of the state’s Board of Tax Appeals.

Brownback spokeswoman Eileen Hawley told The Wichita Eagle the governor hasn’t decided whether to sign a bill that passed on the final night of the legislative session this month.

The measure would allow any taxpayer appealing a decision by the tax board to have a new trial in district court, where new evidence could be presented.

The governor’s office tried to restrict such trials to property tax appeals.

Pizza magnate Gene Bicknell is suing to force the state to refund $42 million he paid in 2013 after an unfavorable ruling by the then-Court of Tax Appeals.

RAJHES REPORT: May 16

Posted on May 16, 2016

Greetings from Agra!

Before we continue our review of this past legislative session, I would like to take a moment and congratulate the district graduates from high school, universities, community colleges and technical schools. It is the beginning of a new chapter in their lives and I look forward to watching their careers take off.
One of the sub-themes in this year’s session was Transparency.

There were a couple of bills which will bring more activity to light when it comes to state government actions. SB 128 provides new transparency for the judicial branch in three separate areas. First, it opens up the names of the lawyers who select the Supreme Court Nominating Commission to the public, similar to public voting rolls. Second, it makes the Supreme Court Nominating commission meetings open to the public under the Kansas Open Meetings Act. Third, it makes the names of applicants who apply for the Court of Appeals discoverable under the Kansas Open Records Act. And, SB 22 modernizes the Kansas Open Records Act to include any recorded information made in conjunction with a public employee’s official duties, regardless of location of the information. I voted for both of these bills.

Another big issue this year was reforming the budget process.

The House passed HB 2739, which would improve the function of state government on a long-term basis by overhauling the way the state budget is constructed. Beginning next year, state agencies would provide legislative budget committees with complete program service inventories, with information such as: program function, program history, intersections with other state programs, federal funding and associated requirements, how much of a priority it is to the agency? consequences of not funding the program and statutory authority.

In the coming years, state agencies will realign their budgets with commonly accepted accounting practices. The new system will improve program transparency and accountability by putting all relevant information into one location, which allows for the comparison of program effectiveness and outcomes.

Every agency function will need to be justified instead of continuing to be funded simply because “it has always been done this way.” In this way, we are committed to ensuring every taxpayer dollar is used wisely in service of the people of Kansas. I also voted for this bill.

You still have time to send back my survey to voice your opinions on a number of issues. If you did not receive one, let me know and I will send one to you. Here are a few ways to reach me: Email: [email protected] or [email protected] ; Write 1798 E 900 Rd, Agra, KS 67621; Phone: (785) 302-8416.

Thank you for the honor of serving you as your State Representative in Topeka.

Ken Rahjes, R-Agra, is the state representative for the 110th District.

Supreme Court avoids major ruling over birth control, faith based groups

Posted on May 16, 2016

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is ridding itself of a knotty dispute between faith-based groups and the Obama administration over birth control. The court is asking lower courts to take another look at the issue in a search for a compromise.

The justices on Monday issued an unsigned opinion in a case over the arrangement devised by the administration to spare faith-based groups from having to pay for birth control for women covered under their health plans.

The major confrontation over an element of President Barack Obama’s health care law is ending with a whimper and with no resolution of the issue the court undertook to decide. The case almost certainly would not return to the Supreme Court until after the 2016 presidential election.

The outcome suggests the court lacked a majority for a significant ruling and is perhaps another example of how the court has been affected by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia.

HAWVER: Kan. budget crisis leads to tense week in Topeka

Posted on May 16, 2016

By midweek, we’ll know just what Gov. Sam Brownback intends to do in the way of a budget to get Kansas through this fiscal year and at least make it appear on paper that the Legislature has appropriated enough money for the state to do its business next year.

Some legislators are fearful that the governor will line-item veto the most politically important provision in the budget bill that he has until mid-week to sign.

It’s a provision that says simply that the governor can’t reduce the amount of general state aid to school districts this fiscal year or next. Those reductions in appropriated funds—they call them “allotments” in the Statehouse—would make it relatively simple to give most state agencies a financial haircut and wind up this and next fiscal year with a balance in the budget, the constitutional bright yellow line in a legal budget.

Now, that provision in the budget bill is probably the best part of it for the lawmakers who passed the bill to the governor on a vote of 63-59 in the House and, after about an hour’s discreet lobbying, the Senate 22-18.

That provision that prevents the governor from dipping into K-12 funds is the one part of the bill that makes cuts to agency budgets that allows legislators seeking re-election to maintain that they protected the basic state appropriation to the state’s 278 public school districts.

That protection of school funds — if the governor allows it to become law by not line-item vetoing it — makes schools about the only state business that isn’t trimmed and clipped by the budget. On the campaign trail, for the vast majority of lawmakers this session, that “prevent the governor from cutting K-12 money” proviso will be the equivalent of telling constituents that they pulled a child out of the burning barn.

Now, the reason for the funds shortage isn’t hard to remember, those 2012 income tax cuts that slashed revenues to the state’s coffers and required last year’s record tax increase measure, the one that raised the sales tax, slashed income tax deductions (like home mortgage interest and property taxes) and even sent smokers out onto the porch with cigarettes that cost 2.5 cents more per smoke due to a 50-cent a pack tax hike.

***

Oh, and while some lawmakers believe that schools should share funds cuts like every other state adventure, the Kansas Supreme Court warned lawmakers in general — though we suspect it was aimed at Brownback — that while lawmakers attempted to make two aspects of school finance dealing with Local Option Budgets and capital outlay funds equitable, the other two branches of government shouldn’t cut into that base state aid that the proviso deals with.

***

So, it’s this week that legislators are awaiting action on that final budget bill, and what if anything the governor intends to do with it, and just what, if the governor leaves that proviso in place, he intends to cut in virtually other state agency to protect that school aid.

And, recall, the Supreme Court hasn’t determined just how much money the state ought to spend to provide an adequate education for all schoolchildren in Kansas. That amount — “adequacy” is a different topic than “equity” — is also based on 20-year-old study that defined what a private consulting company believed then was necessary to adequately and equitably finance public education.

See why there is some tension in the halls of the Statehouse? And, are you wondering whether the Legislature will allow the governor to veto the proviso, or wonder just what else gets cut if there is a veto and lawmakers override it?

That’s what this week is all about, and whatever happens probably will tell us whether lawmakers adjourn the 2016 session in an hour or two on June 1, or whether they hang around for another week…or so…

By BECKY KISER
Hays Post

A public hearing will be held tonight for the Unified Development Code–the city of Hays Zoning and Subdivision Regulations–by the Hays Area Planning Commission.

Hays hired national planning consultant, Kendig Keast Collaborative, to develop the Zoning and Subdivision Regulations.
