Governor Parkinson calls on Legislative leaders to join in the solution

Here are comments from the Governor last week after he took actions to balance this year's fiscal budget.  He is asking the legislature to step up and find ways to raise revenue for next year's budget that starts July 1.

“In the meantime, we cannot balance the next budget or protect our schools, public safety and safety net services without new revenue. I look forward to the Legislature to coming to the table, putting politics aside, and raising the revenue we need to get Kansas back on track.”

It will be a fragile coalition, but I think the legislature will find ways to raise revenue.  A sales tax increase, an alcohol tax, a cigarette tax, a soda pop tax have been introduced.  Also, there is talk about closing tax exemptions.  What do you believe will be in the mix for revenue enhancements?
