"YWCA whole-heartedly supports Governor Kelly?s plans to axe the tax on food, diapers, and period products ? once and for all. It?s time to put money back in the pockets of Kansas women and families with no further delay, because no Kansan should have to choose between buying basic necessities or paying their bills. YWCA has been answering the greater Topeka community?s call for safety, support, healing and empowerment for 135 years. It is time that our state legislature does the same. It?s time to fully Axe the Tax on food and basic necessities." -Kathleen Marker,?CEO of YWCA Northeast Kansas |
