The resolution regarding a countywide 1% retailers’ sales tax to fund the county hospital cited K.S.A. 2014 Supp. 12-187(b)(1), a general tax provision, rather than K.S.A. 2014 Supp. 12-187(b)(5), which specifically addresses funding health care services. …Here, the ballot question was phrased in such a way that the electors understood a “yes” vote was a vote to approve a countywide 1% retailers’ sales tax to fund the county hospital.
