Mayor urges Senate pass taxing measures
Jefferson City Mayor John G. Christy urged the State Senate to action on two House-passed bills, HB 143 and HB 243, proposing earnings and sales taxes for cities. He said adoption would require local voter approval and that a half percent earnings tax targets cities with 12,600 to 40,000 residents, while the sales tax could be half or one percent. Christy noted the measure could aid many cities, favors no tax outright, and pointed out the sales tax would be state-collected and remitted monthly.
