Visit Our Website Newsletter Sign-Up POLL: Kansans are Keeping More this Tax Day Tax Day is here. While many Americans are focused on what they owe the federal government, I want to talk about what you're finally getting back – because of the Working Families Tax Cuts. This year, there's real progress. We've started putting money back where it belongs – in your pocket. Millions of Americans are seeing larger refunds, driven by commonsense relief like deductions for taxes and tips, as well as an enhanced standard deduction for seniors, so you can keep more of what you earn. These historic tax cuts are making a difference, and I fought to ensure Kansas priorities were front and center. First, overtime tax relief. I grew up working long shifts at a sale barn, and I remember what it felt like to see your paycheck shrink before it ever hit your hands. That wasn't right then, and it isn't right now. Today, workers can deduct up to $12,500 in overtime pay – $25,000 for married couples. Refunds are already up, and that's real money back for Kansas families. I was proud to introduce the Overtime Wages Tax Relief Act last year, and I'm even prouder to hear about how much it's helping Kansans now. Other new benefits have been so impactful for Kansans. No tax on tips and the enhanced standard deduction for seniors are helping more people make ends meet. Additionally, the increased standard deduction for this year is saving money for most Kansans. And the increased Child Tax Credit is putting more money in families' pockets. These are just a few highlights from a bill that delivers for every single American. There's a lot more where that came from – and my hope is that this is just a starting point. Now I want to hear from you. Tax Day looks different this year for a lot of Kansans – and I'd like to know if you're feeling the difference: Was your tax return higher than last year? Click HERE to complete the survey. Your response helps me understand how these tax cuts are working for real Kansas families – and keeps me focused on fighting for more relief where it's needed most. Happy Tax Day, Kansans!

Reno

**Executive Summary: Park Lane Mall Sales Performance**  

**August 1990**

### Overview

Park Lane Mall, Reno’s leading shopping center in “The Biggest Little City in the World,” continues to deliver strong sales growth amid a diversifying local economy. The 500,000-square-foot mall achieved robust year-to-date same-store sales increases through May 1990, significantly outperforming the broader Washoe County market.

### Key Performance Highlights

- **Same-Store Sales Growth**: Mall-wide same-store sales rose **8.5%** over 1989 levels through the first five months of 1990.

- **Sales Productivity**: Specialty mall sales reached **$292 per square foot** in 1989, with momentum building toward exceeding **$315 per square foot** in 1990.

- **Outperformance vs. Market**: Park Lane’s overall year-to-date sales grew **10.6%**, compared to just **4.0%** for general merchandise sales across Washoe County.

- **Occupancy**: The property remains highly occupied at **99%**, reflecting strong retailer confidence.

### Top Gaining Categories (YTD Same-Store Sales Growth through May 1990)

- **Jewelry**: **+23.1%**

- **Gifts/Cards/Books**: **+18.8%**

- **Women’s Apparel**: **+11.4%**

- **Family Apparel**: **+9.3%**

- **All Categories (Average)**: **+8.5%**

- **Household**: **+8.2%**

### Strategic Context

Despite Reno’s traditional reliance on tourism (which still accounts for about 25% of business), the mall is benefiting from economic diversification driven by major employers such as Porsche Cars North America, Liberty Mutual Insurance, and General Motors. Leasing manager **Henry McClure** noted that these additions are helping achieve broader economic goals beyond the casino industry.

Mall manager **Charles Moore** emphasized that even with new competing strip centers, Park Lane remains the dominant retail destination in the Reno area due to its convenience, warm atmosphere, and strong local shopper loyalty.

### Conclusion

Park Lane Mall’s impressive sales momentum—led by double-digit gains in key categories and solid outperformance of county-wide trends—positions it as a resilient and thriving retail hub. The combination of high occupancy, targeted category strength, and a supportive local economy underscores its continued appeal to both residents and tourists.
