(UPDATED to correct that the Kansas Legislative Policy Group was neutral)

Renewable energy interests are fighting back against a proposal that would impose new taxes on wind and solar facilities as part of a new alternative to lowering property taxes.

Supporters say the bill is about ensuring tax parity for all energy . . .
