Governor Kelly Visits Pittsburg to Discuss How “Axing Your Taxes” Plan Will Help Kansas Families

“Thanks to years of responsible budget management, we’re able to afford to put money back in Kansans’ pockets without putting our children’s education on the chopping block or breaking the bank,” said Governor Laura Kelly. “The ‘Axing Your Taxes’ plan will provide relief to Kansans in every corner of our state, including in Southeast Kansas. I look forward to continuing to work with The Family Resource Center and Live Well Crawford County to ease this unnecessary financial burden for our families.”

WHAT THEY'RE SAYING

"In this extreme inflationary period, it is time to help the everyday family save money on their food, diapers, and hygiene products. It is time to help Kansas grocers compete with out-of-state retailers and keep the dollars in Kansas."
- Jon McCormick,
President and CEO of Retail Grocers Association of Kansas and Missouri
