Sedgwick County commissioners are debating next year’s legislative agenda with some disagreement about whether to push for voter approval of tax increases that would raise the mill levy.
Board members Dave Unruh and Gwen Welshimer have spoken out against including that component in the legislative agenda. Welshimer said she has worked to lower property taxes for residents but concluded, after she lost her re-election bid, that residents in her district don’t feel that’s important.
With motions and subsequent motions, commissioners have gotten tangled up in procedure and are taking a 10-minute break.
