Governor Kelly Announces Kansas On Track To Implement ‘Axe The Food Tax’

“We have ‘Axed the Food Tax’ and are putting money back in Kansans’ pockets. Kansans will see the savings very soon, but we can do more. When the Kansas Legislature comes back in January, I will push again for the complete and immediate elimination of the state’s sales tax on groceries.”

The holidays are a good time to reflect on the values we hold dear. I’ve been thinking about how important these values are, especially in our work here in the Statehouse. As we inch toward another legislative session, we all need to keep in mind values like kindness and compassion, caring for one another, helping those less fortunate, and respecting all people, regardless of background, as we work to do what’s best for Kansas.

Governor Kelly Announces Groundbreaking of Sports Complex in Overland Park

“My administration is committed to making Kansas a place where people want to live, work, and start a business. The Bluhawk development project will greatly enhance the quality of life in Overland Park and the surrounding communities and will attract visitors, recreation-seekers, and sports enthusiasts from across the region to Kansas.”?
