Local Republicans elect new leadership in Finney County
GOP members in Finney County select new party officers amid a push to engage younger voters and build a digital presence. The reorganization names six vacancies, including Kalvesta, with precinct committees to drive outreach and voter registration. John and Pat Veesart were elected to precinct seats after being recruited, while district delegates for Dodge City on Jan 14 were chosen. Roger Marshall supporters may influence the First District committee after Huelskamp’s defeat.

Rise Up Kansas tax plan targets higher income earners
A coalition promoted Rise Up Kansas proposing a three-bracket income tax overhaul with a 6.45 percent top rate for individuals earning 40 000 or more and 80 000 for couples, restoring pass-through taxes and shifting 0.4 of a cent of the sales tax to the general fund for three years funding highway needs, while food tax would drop to 1.5 percent. The plan aims to net about 820 million annually and faces Democratic and gubernatorial responses amid budget uncertainties.
