Davis and Weber surfaced in Kansas politics as tax policy framed contests for statewide office. Weber opposed tax raises in 2002, later voting for 252 million in new revenue. In 2004 Kassebaum backed a 155 million school funding tax package, then Weber defeated him. The Club for Growth, led locally by David Kensinger and nationally by Stephen Moore, aided anti tax messaging. Kansas voters split among parties with 45 percent Republicans, 30 percent unaffiliated, 25 percent Democrats. Kassebaum criticizes Brownback tax cuts as destabilizing funding for schools and roads. He notes an LLC tax exemption provision undermining public services and recalls Alf Landon’s progressive tax legacy.

The tax levy is 57.921 mills or 1332 dollars on a 200k home, roughly unchanged.
