Gov. Laura Kelly led a roundtable discussion with Kansas grocers at a Price Chopper in Roeland Park today to discuss her “Axe the Food Tax” plan. The plan will eliminate the 6.5% state sales tax on groceries and will save an average family nearly $500 a year. “Kansans have been paying more for groceries than people in almost every other state,” Gov. Laura Kelly said. “With pandemic-induced inflation affecting families and their pocketbooks, it’s more important than ever we provide immediate financial relief for Kansans by eliminating the food tax.”
