Kansas House Candidates Weigh Taxes, Health Care, Drought

KSN News published questionnaires presenting Kansas House candidates’ biographies and responses on property taxes, health care, farming and education. Republican candidate Webster Roth is a longtime Winfield resident, Navy veteran and retired state employee with experience in veterans’ services and local community roles, but the excerpt does not include his substantive answers. Democrat Mark Schaukowitch says property-tax discussions should look beyond caps on assessments or mill levies, citing rising insurance costs for local governments, schools and other public services. The supplied pages for Melanie McMillan, Barb Wasinger and Jo Ann Roth contain questions or indicate that information was still pending, providing little or no policy detail.
