Axing Your Taxes Plan

ICYMI

*Gov. Kelly talks food tax, health care during call with Gazette [ [link removed] ]
"Ryann Brooks, The Emporia Gazette"
*February 7, 2023

*KEY QUOTE:*?""Food prices have gone sky high, we all know that,?? *Gov. Kelly said.* ?We have money in the bank and we don?t need to phase this in. We could have done all of this last July and still had a balanced budget with money in the bank, knowing that those revenues will continue to come in ? as long as the legislature doesn?t do something reckless with tax cuts.""


* Gov. Laura Kelly emphasized the need for a swift end to the state sales tax on groceries, as well as her plans for fully funding education and Medicaid expansion, during a call with The Emporia Gazette this week.


* Another aspect of Kelly?s proposal includes an annual four-day tax holiday each August, something that Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma already offer. Kelly said the idea, which would briefly eliminate taxes on school supplies, personal computers, instruction materials and art supplies, would benefit both families and educators while providing incentives for Kansans not to shop out of state to buy back-to-school items.


* "Teachers spend a lot of their own money on supplies for kids who don?t have them, or just to decorate their classrooms or on educational materials that are not part of the budget,? Gov. Kelly said. ?They spend a lot of money on that and this would help them out, too."
