"Special tax"... yeah. The "special taxes" in Kansas make me want to puke. The state decides to provide incentive's to some business's to come to a location by not charging the businesses taxes, but then pass it off on us the consumer. Moreover, it's tough to keep it all down. I go to Home Depot and get charged say 8% tax, then go across the street and shop at Lows and get nailed 9% tax.

ARG!! Cali has nothing on Kansas.

Try buying a house! Property taxes are all over the board!!
