TOPEKA - When it comes to holding the line on spending and returning hard-earned dollars to Kansas taxpayers, State Representatives
Anthony Brown, Dr. Jeff Colyer, Owen Donohoe, Benjamin Hodge, S. Mike
Kiegerl, and Lance Kinzer are true champions. That's the message the
grassroots free-market group Americans for Prosperity - Kansas delivered at a ceremony today to present these state representatives with a
"Champion of the Taxpayer" award for their votes against one of the largest
state spending spikes in Kansas history and for meaningful tax relief.
"Our hats are off to these representatives who voted for the
interests of the taxpayers they represent and for citizens across Kansas," said AFP Kansas Director Alan Cobb. "By boldly defending our hard-earned
tax dollars against the ravenous appetite of big government these citizen advocates have championed the rights of all Kansas taxpayers."
AFP-Kansas granted the award to lawmakers based on their vote to
reduce the Kansas tax burden as well as their vote against the bloated state
budget. These representatives were among 34 of Kansas' 165 state
lawmakers to receive the "Champion of the Taxpayer" award.
"While many of our state lawmakers talk about reducing the size of
government and delivering meaningful tax relief to Kansans, these
representatives backed up those words with votes," Cobb concluded.
"This award proves that they are a consistent and effective ally in our
battle to hold the line on spending, limit the size of government, and
empower taxpayers."
