Laura Kelly on Tax Reform

I've signed into law $2 billion in tax cuts

Before we know it the state food tax won't exist at all

Just last week, we saw the food tax reduced again--putting an additional $150 million dollars back into the pockets of Kansans.  Before we know it, the food tax won't exist at all. In 2025--or, perhaps, even sooner--it will be totally axed, gone, never to be levied again.    

A flat tax benefits the super wealthy & threatens progress

Axe the tax on groceries, diapers, feminine hygiene products

$250 tax rebate to every Kansan who filed in 2021

For years, many of us, on both sides of the aisle, have been calling for an end to the state's sales tax on food. Now, with this surplus in the bank and increased revenue, we can finally eliminate the grocery sales tax. The essence of the bill can be summed up in 13 words:

We hereby eliminate the state sales tax on food in Kansas, effective immediately. Send me a clean, bi-partisan bill, that eliminates the state sales tax on food by Kansas Day, January 29th. I'll sign it the moment it hits my desk.

Lowering state taxes on groceries a top priority

No more tax cuts; restore balance to the tax system
