Dear Editor,In March 2015, during his first week in Topeka, Rep. Greg Lewis was invited by leaders of the legislature to listen to their fiscal policy plans.By the end of the session these leaders in political control of the legislature would increase sales taxes as part of the largest tax increase in state history, impose $1.0 billion of bond debt on our children to fund KPERS obligations, and issue $400 million of highway bond debt to supplement the $1.6 billion of highway funds diverted to the state general fund. The 2016 session diverted more highway funds, cancelled highway projects, delayed scheduled KPERS contributions and cut public services in general. All of this was done to pay for the income tax cuts.Even as our income has grown we have paid less income tax.
