BUSINESS NEWS
- ➤ Artists and small business owners in Kansas City's West Bottoms said steep commercial tax hikes could force them out of their historic buildings after one property's tax increased by 800% and was later reduced to 300% on appeal. They urged Jackson County officials to reform the system before December tax bills force higher rents on creative tenants — a change that many fear could displace long-standing occupants. KMBC
