WHAT THEY'RE SAYING

sykes quote

support quote

"The food sales tax is a regressive tax that affects every Kansan, but disproportionately affects low-income families who are struggling to meet their basic needs. It takes the most from those who have the least."
*-Stephen Davis, President & CEO of Harvesters

*"The Kansas Rural Center strongly encourages the Kansas Legislature to support Governor Laura Kelly?s proposal to immediately eliminate the state-level sales tax on groceries in Kansas. We also support her proposal to include the elimination of the state sales tax on diapers and feminine hygiene products."
*-Tom Buller, Executive Director of the Kansas Rural Center

*"Food security is about more than just food; it?s about family resources. The elimination of the sales tax on diapers and feminine hygiene products will help our most vulnerable neighbors provide for the basic needs of their families."
*-Chad Higdon, CEO of Second Harvest Community Food Bank

*"As inflation continues to impact Kansans, there?s no reason to wait until 2025 to eliminate the food tax. Governor Kelly?s plan to Axe the Tax will end the state sales tax on essentials like food and diapers. This tax relief will help all Kansans, especially those with the fewest resources, at a time when they need it most."
*-David Jordan,?President and CEO of the United Methodist Health Ministry Fund*
