Businessmen Back Liquor By The Drink In Kansas
Kansas business leaders favor liquor by the drink in restaurants but show indecision on funding education. A Kansas Association of Commerce and Industry poll of 500 officials at Issues ’73 forums finds 76 percent support liquor by the drink for venues with more than half food sales. Education funding options: 35 percent for higher sales tax, 28 percent federal revenue sharing, 24 percent income tax increase, 13 percent other. Other questions show strong support for uniform consumer credit code 81 percent, a state regulated occupational safety act 57 percent, and a Kansas consumer protection act 82 percent. They back a larger budget for the Department of Economic Development 87 percent and favor maintaining state administration of workers compensation with higher benefits 97 percent. A sales tax exemption for manufacturing equipment is seen as important by 60 percent.
