In its publications section and "Budget Tips", LKM provides a template ordinance for raising taxes in cities and counties to appropriate more funds to expand the next fiscal year's budget.[2]

In January 2009, the Kansas Senate gave first-round approval to SB 34, which renews 30 exceptions to the Kansas Open Records Act. Don Moler, executive director of the League of Kansas Municipalities spoke in favor of the bill, saying, ""Every one of the exemptions that are in there are in there for a reason."[3]
