Kansas cities urged to adopt sales tax to fund services
Ford Watson, Lawrence city manager, told the Kansas League of Municipalities that cities must shift from property taxes to broader revenue. He cited Lawrence's half cent sales tax and warned that police protection, welfare, streets, fire protection, and snow removal costs fall on taxpayers if reliance on property taxes continues. He argued high property taxes drive crime, delinquency, and economic losses.
