3,443 SIGNATURES ACQUIRED

August 23, 2010, The Shawnee County Commission took $2.1 million of the City of Topeka’s allocation of State Motor Vehicle Fuel Taxes to divert to Shawnee County Government. Shawnee County Government does not spend a dime on Topeka streets.

NOT FAIR!

August 26, 2010, The Shawnee County Commission increased funding for Rossville, Silver Lake, and Auburn. Topeka was sitll left with $0 from the County Commission.

NOT SO FAST!

City of Topeka’s street budget has been gutted by $2.1 million for 2011 and indefinitely after a long standing state law requiring the distribution was side-stepped by the County and denied the legislated payment of $5.5 million in underpaid tax disbursements due in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016

NOT WITH OUR MONEY!
Every cent of Topeka’s state gas tax money is used for the City street budget. 
We pay the tax; we need the tax.

Follow the laws intent, be fair, and stop the games.
