ECONOMY

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

In Kansas we need to adjust the balance so that we are less dependent on property tax and utilize sales and income tax as the primary sources of revenue. Taxes and fees also need to be eliminated if possible since they become a de facto tax that prevents business expansion.
