Summary
Kansas City voters face a major August ballot decision: $1.7 billion in “no-tax” bonds to fund critical city projects without raising your taxes. The money will tackle urgent water and sewer upgrades ($1.5 billion for KC Water, risking steep rate hikes without it), build affordable housing and fix vacant properties ($100 million), and renovate city facilities including City Hall ($100 million). Plus, voters will decide whether to extend a 1.25-cent sales tax funding East Side economic development, which generated $13.5 million last year. The city plans to issue bonds as older debt matures, keeping investments flowing without burdening taxpayers or the general fund.
