I had never seen this before...will definitely waste some time checking it out.
Rating agency Moody's Investor Service downgraded bonds for a Kansas Department of Commerce program this week, citing income tax cuts that are expected to eat into state revenue.
Progress Missouri Inc., a non-profit organization based in Jefferson City and Columbia, is planning on flying an aerial banner over a high school or college football game in the home district of a legislator who supports the cut in an apparent effort to publicly shame those who vote in favor of overturning Gov. Jay Nixon's June 5 veto of the "Broad-Based Tax Relief Act."
“We are spending less than our parents spent on educating us and our grandparents spent on educating them,” Heim said. That trend, he said, “needs to change.”
Brownback has called his tax changes a “real live experiment,” which he said will boost the economy and lure jobs. His office released a statement Thursday that said state general fund spending to schools has increased since Brownback took office.
But Heim and other educators say Brownback’s figures include increased state contributions for the teacher retirement system, which never was counted before as classroom spending, and recently has had to be boosted because of pension problems.
Johnson County Manager Hannes Zacharias said the tax cuts are putting the state in a revenue crunch that affects county governments.
Later in the conference, Justin Ross, assistant professor at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University, said the measure will provide incentives for companies to change their tax structure for tax purposes, which will reduce revenue to the state, while not necessarily increasing any economic activity.
