Kansas runs one of the most secretive state governments
And the end result isn&#x27;t even the advertised low-tax state, at least for normal citizens. Topeka&#x27;s sales tax rate (including the city portion) is over 9%, which is right up there with me in Seattle (about 10%). Plus an income tax (Washington has none). Plus property taxes that are higher than mine. Plus personal property tax on vehicles, so car registration in Kansas costs basically the same as in the transportation benefit district I live in.<p>Corrupt as hell, and actively lying about the reason the state has no money.
