Rural Kansas faces tax hikes as federal aid fades
The AP reports that rural communities across Kansas and other farm states face higher taxes and reduced services as a sharp farm economy downturn and cuts in federal revenue sharing loom. Kansas could see up to 7.5 percent property tax boosts to offset lost funds, with potential layoffs of police, firefighters, and street workers if aid disappears in 1987. Local officials warn of a double hit from declining revenue and reassessment costs.
