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 />

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 />
