Kansas taxpayers are about to pay up.
Late Tuesday night, the Republican-controlled legislature voted to override the veto of Republican Governor Sam Brownback.
The new law takes effect his year and imposes a three-bracket system in Kansas. Income tax rates will increase this year and then again in 2018.
The tax increase is expected to raise $1.2 billion over two years by increasing income tax rates and ending an exemption for 330,000-plus farmers and business owners.
The Governor championed that exemption, commonly called the LLC exemption, in 2012.
