How do you feel about the recent tax increase passed last year?

Kansan's are already over taxed.  The $1.2 Billion tax increase passed last year was brutal and unnecessary.  There is no reason families making $60,000 per year deserve to be in the states top tax bracket.  Kansas is currently 8th in line for the highest sales tax (and most of the states higher than us have no state income tax)!  We have the 3rd highest food sales tax in the nation.  We have to fix this and focus on keeping as many dollars in the taxpayers pocket as possible while creating efficiencies in government. 

Along with the largest tax increase in history, spending was increased by nearly $800 million.  The increased spending in Kansas has far outpaced inflation and its time we control it.  There are currently 7 states in the US that do not have state income tax.  If they can do it, why can't Kansas?  One example: Kansas is 3rd highest per Capita for the number of public employees.  Why?  Lets investigate what we can do differently and work together to find the solutions. 

It is my solemn pledge to never vote for a tax increase until I can look each of you in the face and guarantee the government is operating as efficiently as possible..
