The Kansas City Star, December 15, 2015: Panel sees more gloom for low-income Kansans
“Three panelists for the public policy forum hosted by United Community Services painted a mostly gloomy picture for low-income Kansans as a result of cutbacks state lawmakers have made to fill budget gaps resulting from dramatic cuts in income taxes. Despite a big increase in the state sales tax, borrowing from the state highway department and an effort to cut costs, the state’s policies will likely continue to disproportionately affect the poor, the panelists said.”
