Lawmakers question $557M spent on STAR bond districts
Kansas lawmakers scrutinize more than 557 million dollars in state sales tax revenue diverted to STAR bond districts over 16 years. The program funds roads and infrastructure via bonds repaid from future sales tax receipts. The Village West area in Wyandotte County is a notable example, while Heartland Park Topeka faced foreclosures and subsequent revival. Senate members urge a return to the state beyond bond payments as interim reviews proceed.
