Veto Series 3: HB 8, the “let’s blow a hole in the budget” bill

As expected, the governor vetoed the “let’s be like Kansas” bill. Not expected was the tack of tossing the new taxes back into the face of the legislators.

As we and others have called out since this bill was introduced, shifting the state to an all-sales-tax approach to funding state government is one of the dangerous bills ever to come out of Frankfort. The “Kansas Experiment” is a warning, not a playbook.
