Missouri Sales Tax Exemption Debate Polarizes Lawmakers
Jefferson City proposals to exempt food and drugs from the Missouri sales tax draw sharp sides. Opponents warn schools could lose about 65 million, while supporters contend revenue shifts rather than vanishes. Officials estimate 140 million in state revenue and 40 million in city revenue would vanish, with plans to cover losses via higher corporate taxes and taxes on high earners and mineral production. The exemption would take effect in 1978, allowing a one year transition for new tax laws.
