Topeka ? The Legislature probably won’t seriously consider raising taxes to meet a Kansas Supreme Court mandate to provide additional money to public schools, leaders from both parties said Monday.

“The bottom line is I don’t see taxes – an increase in taxes – being on the table,” said House Speaker Doug Mays, R-Topeka.

Legislative leaders expect to receive a more optimistic fiscal forecast for the state Tuesday, which would allow them to project higher revenues in budgeting. State revenue collections in May exceeded expectations by $75 million, or 18 percent.

Sebelius plans to review Tuesday’s new revenue estimates and “will then have a better understanding of where we are and what our options are,” said spokeswoman Nicole Corcoran.

Mays said tax increases were off the table because legislators worry that higher taxes will stunt economic growth and hurt working families who face high energy and health care costs.

But House Minority Leader Dennis McKinney said he’s frustrated by sentiments against raising state taxes.

“We’re all talking about the impact on taxpayers, and we’ve forgotten that the court blocked a major increase for local property taxpayers,” McKinney said. “The property tax is the most unfair tax in my eyes and the eyes of a lot of voters,” because it increases the inequality between wealthier and poorer districts.
