A transparency bill that would hold local elected officials accountable for increasing property taxes is working its way through the Kansas House. The Kansas Senate voted 34-1 in favor of the “Truth in Taxation” bill, which would require local government bodies to inform the public about any property tax revenue increases regardless if the increase is a result of a millage hike. Gov. Laura Kelly vetoed a similar bill during the last session and because of COVID-19, lawmakers didn’t have time to attempt an override.
