Missouri voters face possible flood of constitutional amendments
Eight petition drives aim to put constitutional changes on November ballots in Missouri. Groups including Missourians for Common Sense seek curbs on legislators’ salaries and pensions, court system reforms, tax exemptions, and bond issue thresholds. Petitions must marshal about 100 000 signatures by July 1, with adoption needing a majority vote. Strong entities include Missouri Bar, Missourians for Tax Reform, Missouri Council of Fire Fighters, and public figures like St. Louis Mayor Charles Wheeler.
