Proposition KK
Who Put This on the Ballot: Passed by the General Assembly.
How I Am Voting and Why: I am voting yes. This 6.5% tax on the sale of firearms and ammunition will fund crime victim services, veterans mental health care, children and youth behavioral heath care, and school security. Without this tax, we would likely need to increase taxes in order to pay these costs.
