Kansas weighs tax break plan to lure back rural residents
Kansas considers a five year income tax exemption plus help with student loans for newcomers as part of a broader push to repopulate shrinking rural areas. The proposal faces skepticism from Freeport officials and some Democrats while officials cite census data showing 77 of Kansas counties lost population since 2000. Kiowa County suffered a 22 percent decline, and rural decline contrasts with growth in metropolitan areas.
