State grants lift Kansas second class cities' revenues
The University of Kansas Governmental Research Center reports state grants and shared taxes accounted for 16 percent of total revenue for Kansas second class cities in 1938 through 1952, rising from 11 percent in 1948 to 18 percent later. The fifth-cent gasoline tax distribution since October 1949 boosted smaller cities, shifting reliance from sales tax residue to shared taxes, with smaller cities benefiting most due to lower other revenue sources.
