Members of the Senate had been expected to engage in late-night debate on a bill raising Kansas tax collections by $210 million to demonstrate for taxpayers modest progress toward a financial resolution could be achieved.

Instead of hurling political talking points at each other, the politically fractured Senate elected to sit on their hands for a couple hours.
