Urge your House Representative to vote NO on the flat tax. They’ve held no committee hearings on it this year, but they already rammed the flat tax through the Senate and we expect the House to vote on it today. The flat tax benefits wealthy Kansans the most and will jeopardize school funding as it cuts state revenue an EXTRA $500 million per year above Gov. Kelly’s proposed tax cut. Median income Kansans would get 75 CENTS of the $500 million. This is Brownback 2.0, and we don’t want to go back.

Tax policy is directly related to education funding. Just say no to Brownback 2.0. Leadership is fast-tracking a flat tax which will provide middle-class Kansans very little individual benefit but will harm the state’s ability to fund essential services, including education. The top beneficiaries are wealthy Kansans, both in terms of percentage and dollars. Contact your legislator and urge them to vote no on any flat tax. Governor Kelly has proposed other tax cuts that will help average Kansans without putting our state back into a budgetary crisis.
