Axing Your Taxes Plan

*Gov. Kelly makes special education funding top priority, touts other initiatives [ [link removed] ]
"Matt Resnick,?*"Chanute Tribune"*
"*March 17, 2023


* If fully implemented, [Governor Kelly?s Axing Your Taxes Plan] will save Kansans more than $500 million over the next three years.?The first phase of the plan has focused on the state sales tax for groceries, which will eliminate the 6.5 percent tax in incremental phases. Prior to the implementation of the plan, Kansas was among the highest in the nation.


* Kelly said that it?s imperative for constituents to stay up-to-date with legislation. ?I?d like citizens to encourage their legislators to get on board with the plan that we proposed right at the beginning ? to eliminate the food sales state tax as soon as possible,? Gov. Kelly said. ?We?ve already missed the opportunity to eliminate it by April 1, and at this point are looking at July 1.?

* ?If you look at the flat tax proposals that have been put out there, they do very serious damage to our bottom line,? Gov. Kelly said. ?Ultimately, we would blow through our ending balance of around $2 billion, and would have to dip into our rainy day fund. We don?t have enough rainy day (revenue) coming in to support something like that flat tax.

*KEY QUOTE:*?""Thanks to Gov. Laura Kelly?s responsible management of the state budget, not only have we been able to dig ourselves out of the ditch, but we have also been able to pay off state debt and make valuable investments in our future. Kansas even had a $2 billion surplus, allowing for responsible cuts in the food sales tax, which benefits every Kansan.""
