ICYMI: Governor Kelly's "Axing Your Taxes" plan provides essential relief for all Kansans

*KEY QUOTE: *""Kansas has the financial resources, we have our deeply ingrained sense of fairness, we have the same pioneer grit that helped us to settle this state. We must meet [food insecurity] head-on so that Kansans are not forced to opt between food and health care, utilities, or emergency costs. Fully eliminating the food sales tax is the first and best step in taking care of those in need.""

* Cutting sales taxes on food, feminine hygiene products and diapers will make trips to the grocery store more affordable for families struggling with inflation. Cutting taxes on social security for our seniors and providing a four-day tax holiday in August as students head back to school will ease the burden on other vulnerable populations. 


* Governor Kelly knows that we can – and must – do more to address food insecurity in our state. Thanks to recent responsible budget management, we have the means to do it and now is the time. The “Axing Your Taxes” plan is estimated to save Kansas over $500 million over the next three years. At this moment, we can put money back in the pockets of hardworking families without raising taxes on low income or middle-class Kansans. There is no reason not to.


* We have the power – and the budget – to get this done. Join me in urging the Kansas legislature to come together and pass Governor Kelly’s “Axing Your Taxes” plan and provide essential relief for our families once and for all.
