Governor Laura Kelly aims for bipartisan agreement on sustainable tax cuts after vetoing multiple GOP proposals.
- Special legislative session set to begin on June 18 to address tax cuts.
- Governor Kelly vetoed three Republican tax cut plans, citing concerns over fiscal sustainability.
- Both parties agree on eliminating taxes on Social Security benefits and reducing property taxes for schools.
