Missouri Tax War Heats Up | Jefferson City News
Description
In Missouri’s sixth Senate District, a fiery Republican primary is unfolding over Governor Mike Kehoe’s bold tax plan—Amendment 5—to scrap the state income tax and replace it with a revamped sales tax system. While some candidates like Jake Vogel, backed by the governor, support putting the plan to voters, others like Rudy Veit and Lisa Thomas warn of unchecked legislative power, special interests, and a potential “bait and switch.” The race is also personal, with Vogel facing scrutiny over past legal issues and fundraising hurdles, as candidates vie to prove they’re the most trustworthy stewards of Missouri’s future—especially when it comes to how residents pay their taxes.
