Governor vetoes property tax bill; unveils her own property tax plan

Read Article Gov. Laura Kelly on Wednesday vetoed the Legislature's attempt to lower property taxes, rejecting a bill that would have given power to voters to block a local government budget if it spent more than the previous year. The governor immediately announced her own plan that called for cutting taxes on vehicles, providing an incentive for local governments to reduce their spending and doubling the exemption for property taxes paid on the state's 20-mill tax levy for schools.
