(AP) – Gov. Sam Brownback and fellow conservative Republicans are seeing their hopes for cutting Kansas income taxes boosted by a new, relatively optimistic fiscal forecast for the state.

But they’ll have to overcome differences among their natural allies to get a plan through the Legislature next year.

Brownback argues that decreasing income taxes will attract new residents and businesses. Three dozen people who showed up for last week’s kickoff at the Statehouse of a Kansans for No Income Tax bus strongly agree and probably have for some time.

But their shared belief masks a diversity of opinion about how to proceed. Also, Brownback will have a broader legislative agenda that could make him less aggressive on tax cuts than some of his allies.
