WICHITA, Kan. (KAKE) - Spenser Nash is a freshman at Wichita State University, who has worked a job that paid under $7,000 a year, and said that it would be great if the state moved ahead with a plan to get rid of state income tax for people in his bracket.

"People in general, who are just trying to scrape by, you know, and having taxes come in, and, you know, take a dent, take a chunk out of that, getting rid of that as a whole, I think that's a great thing," Nash said.

In a unanimous vote, the Kansas House of Representatives passed the tax plan.

The bill would eliminate state income taxes for people making under $7,000, and slightly reducing rates for all other brackets. 

Leading Republicans, whether for a flat tax or not, enthusiastic over the vote.

"I am really proud of the House of Representatives and what we did yesterday. Really amazing what happens when everybody works together," said Speaker Dan Hawkins.

House Democratic leader Vic Miller was also pleased with the vote.

"Not a single Republican or Democrat, found enough bad in this bill to vote no," Miller said. "And again, I hope that sends a strong message to the Senate to try to digest what we did and try to embrace it."

However, once the Senate got the bill, Senate President Ty Masterson ruled the bill materially changed.’

What this means is the bill has essentially been derailed, however the Senate could overrule Masterson by a two-thirds vote, and the bill could come up again before the session is over.
