State Auditor rejects funds over delinquent county taxes
The Kansas state auditor, W. Morris, refuses to release state funds to counties with unpaid tax quotes. County officials including J. Lilies Moor, A. Eb. Berne, and Wyandotte leaders faced mandamus threats as Morris pressed legal avenues to compel payment. A Supreme Court ruling looms as officials negotiate which counties must cover delinquent sums and whether nonpayment bars further disbursements.
