(Missouri Independent) – Missouri voters rejected major Republican priorities on Tuesday as proposals to eliminate the income tax and change the way initiative petition majorities are counted lost by large margins across the state.
Missouri wants to keep the income tax the way it is until there’s a plan in place that phases that out.
Educators and groups from the left organized under the name No Everything Tax against Amendment 5 and Protect Majority Rule Missouri against Amendment 4.
The idea of eliminating the state income tax and raising revenue through sales tax appealed to Chad Cole, who said he voted for Amendment 5.
