That state legislators are dictating whether individual cities can levy a sales tax is really sticking in Cole Herder’s craw.  

“It’s almost more important to me philosophically, than what the actual difference may mean,” said Herder, Humboldt city administrator. 

In late February, the Kansas Senate passed a measure, Senate Bill 248, that eliminates the collection of sales taxes on food for cities and counties as well as that charged by the state.
