WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
"YWCA whole-heartedly supports Governor Kelly’s plans to axe the tax on food, diapers, and period products – once and for all. It’s time to put money back in the pockets of Kansas women and families with no further delay, because no Kansan should have to choose between buying basic necessities or paying their bills. YWCA has been answering the greater Topeka community’s call for safety, support, healing and empowerment for 135 years. It is time that our state legislature does the same. It’s time to fully Axe the Tax on food and basic necessities."
-Kathleen Marker, CEO of YWCA Northeast Kansas
"As the cost of food rises, Governor Kelly highlights the need to immediately cut the sales tax on food and basic necessities as well as sales tax holiday on back-to-school items. These common sense tax cuts benefit all Kansans. Let’s get to work."
-David Jordan, President & CEO, United Methodist Health Ministry Fund
