Old Law on Refunding Bonds Could Raise County Taxes
Kansas counties face increased tax levies as State Auditor Morris enforces an 1879 law allowing refunding bonds to be collected via tax rolls. Hutchings, a Kansas City attorney, urges action against Kiowa, Woodson, Meade, Stevens, and Kearny counties, with Kiowa already refunding about $120,000 for $72,000. Ironically, promised creditor concessions may trigger heavier loads on railroads and other taxpayers while wringing funds from counties that have defaulted on bonds.
