Some Wichita residents believe that a new commercial from Wichita Forward, the nonprofit group behind a proposed sales tax, violated city and state political action rules.

The Sedgwick County Election Commissioner sent the district attorney a mailer from the group behind a sales tax proposal.

Wichita City Council members are working to create the rules that would govern a proposed 1% city sales tax — five weeks before voters weigh in.

Wichita Mayor Lily Wu used her mayoral powers to call for a special meeting on Wednesday. Wu had hoped to delay a vote on a sales tax proposal until August.
