Missouri approves cigarette tax and school aid plan
Missouri voters approved a two cent per pack cigarette tax and a new per pupil based school aid plan in a low turnout special election. The cigarette tax collected 203 609 to 204 082 while the school program won 220 657 to 63 017, with St Louis area opposition offset by rest of state support. The school plan shifts to per pupil funding and requires districts to levy at least 1 dollar per 100 dollars assessed value. if local revenue does not reach 110 per pupil, the state provides the balance and a 75 dollar grant per pupil for average daily attendance. The result leaves the governor’s proposed 375 million bond issue for state facilities unresolved. A separate local political note mentions resignations and a Republican replacement in Kansas City.
