Overview

• Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly vetoed a bill that would have cut taxes in Kansas by nearly $1.4 billion over the next three years.
• The measure included a proposal to impose a single-rate "flat" income tax for individuals, which Kelly objected to.
• Kelly said abandoning the state's current three-rate individual income tax would have been fiscally "reckless" and threatened funding for public schools.
• Republican leaders plan to attempt overriding Kelly's veto once the full GOP-controlled Legislature reconvenes on Wednesday.
• Kelly proposed a one-time $450 rebate for each Kansas individual filer as an alternative to the income tax changes.Republicans have been cold to the idea in the past.
