During the Kansas House debate on Friday on HB 2538 (PEAK Act Amendments), Kansans were given a good opportunity to view who those Kansas Legislator’s are that are fine with using state tax dollars and state finance authority to give out-of-state workers jobs over Kansans. The Tietze Amendment to the HB 2538, which failed 56-59, read:
“A qualified employer or contractor of a qualified employer when hiring persons to work on public works projects and any project financed b state funds, tax increment financing or state tax and revenue bonds shall employ available Kansas resident workers before hiring non-Kansas workers.”
Here’s those who voted against the amendment guaranteeing Kansas jobs first:
Bethell, Bollier, Bowers, Brookens, A. Brown, Burgess, Carlson, Craft, Crum, DeGraaf, Donohoe, Faber, Fund, Gordon, Hayzlett, Hermanson, Hill, Hineman, C. Holmes, M. Holmes, Horst, Jack, Kelley, Kerschen, Kiegerl, King, Kinzer, Kleeb, Knox, Landwehr, Light, Mast, McLeland, Merrick, Morrison, Moxley, Myers, Neufield, O’Brien, O’Neal, Olson, Otto, Pottorff, Powell, Prescott, Proehl, Rhoades, Schroeder, Schwartz, Seiwert, Shultz, Siegfried, Sloan, Suellentrop, Vickery, Whitham, B. Wolf, K. Wolf, Worley.
If any of these legislators are your Representative in the House, be sure to contact them. Here’s a complete listing of the members. Let them know you don’t want your tax dollars funding out-of-state jobs before Kansas jobs.
