million and $3.9 million respectively pulling the monthly total in Kansas
Department of Revenue Tax Collections to $6.8 million less than estimates.

compared to last year, said Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan. Corporate
income taxes which have not had a rate change and sales tax receipts
continue to struggle in part because of weaker aviation, oil and
agriculture sectors.
