100% support <U+201C>Axe the Food Tax<U+201D> & @GovLauraKelly bill to eliminate the state sales tax on food in KS, as I have in the past. KS is one of seven states in the nation that fully taxes groceries. KS food sales tax rate is 6.5%, the second-highest rate in the country. #ksleg https://t.co/6sSl0gw3dI
