Too often state legislators say one thing on the campaign trail and then go to Topeka and propose something completely different. Advances in technology and strides in government transparency have now made it easier to track what the Kansas Legislature is doing on a day-to-day basis. However, with the multitude of bills introduced every legislative session, it is nearly impossible for a hard-working taxpayer to keep up with what is being proposed.

Americans for Prosperity - Kansas wants to give you the tools to compete with the taxpayer funded lobbyists and power brokers in Topeka. AFP’s Kansas Tax Alert will notify you when a state representative or state senator sponsors legislation that will increase taxes. You will be just a few clicks away from letting that legislator know how you feel about the proposal to increase your tax burden.

It is vitally important to alert politicians immediately about the potential consequences of their actions. At a time when the Legislature is attempting to balance a budget that will have an anticipated $400 million shortfall, the threat of tax increases is very real. Your willingness to communicate your disapproval of these proposals is imperative to winning the fight.

State General Fund (SGF) spending in Topeka increased by more than 40% in just a five-year time period. With that kind of out of control spending, lawmakers should look in the mirror when looking for solutions for addressing the budget shortfall, not in the pockets of Kansas taxpayers.
