A Kansas Constitutional Amendment is on the November 6th Ballot. The State of<br />

Kansas is asking voter for the right to change the amount of taxes they may or may<br />

not decide to tax water craft. The Ballot is confusing because the Amendments list<br />

Real Property, Land, Vacant Lots and the percentage that must be taxed.<br />

Even though the ballot lists all of the other taxable items it is only the Water Craft<br />

that is being changed and the Legislators are asking you to give them the right to tax<br />

(and what amount) or to not tax at all. It would be up to the State Legislature.<br />

Main Street Program To<br />

Undergo Big Changes<br />

The Kansas Department of<br />

Commerce announces today a<br />

plan that will transition the<br />

Kansas Main Street program to<br />

local control. The Department<br />

announced on Sept. 20 that it<br />

was ending the Main Street<br />

program at the state level<br />

because of expected smaller<br />

state and federal budgets moving<br />

forward.<br />

“The decision to end a program<br />

like Kansas Main Street<br />

program was not an easy one,”<br />

said Kansas Commerce<br />

Secretary Pat George.<br />

“However, in light of our future<br />

budget constraints, the<br />

Commerce Department must<br />

focus on programs that impact<br />

the most communities and<br />

businesses as we work to<br />

expand economic development<br />

and grow private-sector jobs<br />

statewide.”<br />

After the Sept. 20 announcement,<br />

the Department began<br />

working with Main Street communities<br />

to transition the program<br />

out of state control. A key<br />

part of the program has been<br />

the $3.7 million in Incentive<br />

Without Walls (IWW) funding<br />

that has been used by 35 communities<br />

since 1996. IWW<br />

funding is loaned to communities<br />

to help with various downtown<br />

business needs.<br />

Current IWW funding in use<br />

by communities can continue<br />

to be utilized by those communities<br />

as long as it is used for<br />

economic development and<br />

downtown revitalization<br />

efforts. Those communities<br />

will continue to submit annual<br />

reports on IWW funding to the<br />

Department.<br />
