Not The Way To Raise Taxes
An editorial urges Missouri voters to oppose two constitutional amendments on the November ballot. Amendment No. 1 would raise the state sales tax by a quarter cent and direct about 20 million dollars yearly to the Conservation Department without strings. Amendment No. 2 would reduce two sales tax sources food and medicine, but would slash state and city revenues totaling about 180 million dollars, effectively creating new taxes. The piece calls both amendments misleading and urges a No vote on each.
