TOPEKA, (KSNT)— Kansas Governor Laura Kelly led another push to get her “Axe the Food Tax” planpassed this year.
The governor visited T-Rock Child Care Center in Topeka, where daycare workers are spending hundreds of dollars on groceries.
“Over $500 one grocery, and over $220 at another grocery…when you figure out the sales tax she spent on this that’s just the state portion, that’s well over $50 she spend in sales tax alone…and she does this twice a month,” Kelly said, while holding a lengthy receipt.
Kansas has one of the highest food sales taxes in the nation, sitting at 6.5%. The democratic governor is once again calling on the state’s Legislature to pass a full elimination of the state’s food sales tax by this summer.
