Docking Seeks End of Sales Tax Residue for Kansas
Governor George Docking urged elimination of the 12.5 million dollar sales tax residue distributed to counties and cities to curb state fiscal problems. He proposed retaining the money to balance an austere budget through June 1959 and raising 6.38 million more annually by other means. He warned against new taxes on breadwinners and favored consolidating water functions under a state resource board, plus reforms in welfare, highway patrol, and penal institutions.
