Issues: Senior Citizens Taxes
The record long 2015 Legislative session resulted in the largest tax increase in state history. I voted against this tax hike partly because of the damage it will do to Southwest Kansas' senior citizens. As a result of the tax increase, those Southwest Kansans on a fixed-income, our seniors, are forced to pay the highest sales tax on food in the country. We cannot continue to pay for an unbalanced tax system on the backs of our seniors, and I will continue to work tirelessly to make sure that we don't.
