Can anybody tell me anything about the boat tax question on the ballot? Just how outrageous are boat taxes in Kansas, and would lowering them defund anything important? Would my taxes as a non-boat owner be affected if the boat tax gets lowered? tia.

YES vote allows lower taxes on boats.  A lot of people seem to think that this would actually increase revenue in Kansas as many people register their boats in other states, but I'm a little dubious.
NO vote means boats are taxed like all other property.

I don't have strong feelings either way, but I would prefer not to give boat owners a tax cut without overwhelming evidence that this increases revenue.

Thanks. I had been leaning toward no.

They are just going to take the original $200M that went to schools, and use this new $200M for schools so that schools still receive nothing more than $200M, but every politician involved will get a new boat/

Seriously, how many taxable boats are there in the state of Kansas. If this was a coastal state I could understand. I am voting yes to help allow flexibility in the tax policy on boats.

Yeah, it's bullshit. They probably will not even have to pay taxes on the boats.

Paranoid side of me thinks that there is something else this bill that allows the gov to do something unrelated  and that they are using boats to get it through.  Otherwise, why pass something for boats.  I mean, who give a eff about boats in KS? 

[steve dave]

sorry boat owners

[EMAWican]

Approximately 10,000 watercraft are registered in the surrounding states to Kansas residents to avoid the 30% property tax rule.  Watercraft includes boats, jet-skis, canoes, sailboats, etc. Drive around a marina or place that stores boats and see how many tags are Kansas.  I think it's pathetic that if I signed a waiver saying I operated the boat over 50% of the time in Oklahoma that I would save $1,500 bucks a year.
