- Wichita residents may vote in March on a proposed 1 cent city sales tax for seven years, aimed at funding public safety, housing, and cultural projects.
- The proposal, initiated by the nonprofit Wichita Forward, has faced concerns over transparency, timing, and potential impact on cost of living.
- If approved, the tax would start July 1, 2026, and end June 30, 2033, covering all items including groceries, and is estimated to generate $850 million.
- Funds would be allocated to convention center upgrades, public safety, property tax relief, housing/homelessness, and a new performing arts center.
- A 15-member oversight committee would be established to audit the use of the tax revenue.
