Rail Tax Battle Keeps 60 Percent Cut On Railroads In Kansas
A federal judge denied state and county bids to alter an April ruling that slashed railroad property tax valuations in Kansas from 30 to 12.2 percent, keeping $8.6 million in 1980 taxes in escrow for railroads while allowing a modest inflation adjustment to cut $100,000 from the total. The decision opens the way for a 10th Circuit appeal and outlines 1981 tax handling with escrow requirements and first half payments already made.
