PITTSBURG, Kan. – The Kansas Supreme Court rules in favor of Pittsburg native and philanthropist Gene Bicknell.
Bicknell’s tax battle with the state centered on whether he lived in Kansas or Florida when he sold his company, NPC International, in 2006.

Bicknell was fined $48 million in taxes, interests and penalties. In 2019, the District Court of Crawford County ordered the state to return the money to Bicknell. But that was appealed and reversed in 2021 by the Kansas Court of Appeals.
Today, the state’s highest court sided with Bicknell, saying he lived in Florida at the time.
