Yesterday, Kansas Governor Laura Kelly announced that her office will introduce a Bill to eliminate taxes on food sales in the state.
Kelly says eliminating the State Food Tax would save the average Kansas family of four, $500 a year. She adds that the Legislature could eliminate the tax and still maintain the budget; thanks to a fiscal decision made before the pandemic. Governor Kelly called on lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to get a clean bill through the Legislature and onto her desk as quickly as possible.
