Lawmakers weigh property tax boost for university buildings
Four Kansas legislators urged reviving a bill to raise the Educational Building Fund via a statewide property tax increase. The plan targets six Regents universities for renovation to meet federal accessibility and fire safety rules, with a potential move from 1 to 1.5 mills by 2000. Supporters cite alumni backing and a phased levy over 3 to 5 years amid election-year political hurdles.
