Kansas State legislators are back in Topeka this week for a special session called by Governor Laura Kelly.

 

 The session convened yesterday and consisted mostly of informational hearings on tax reform. More discussion is expected on that issue today.

 

Also expected on today's agenda is the plan to lure the Chiefs and the Royals from Missouri to Kansas. The main sticking point on that issue for many legislators is the cost to Kansas tax payers. A proposed bill would mean the state would cover 70% of the costs with a minimum capital investment of $1 billion. With a 30-year payback schedule. The money would be paid back with 100% of the sales tax through alcohol sales made in the stadium district.

 

Today's session begins at 9am
