Missouri Tax Plans Face Voters' Rejection | St. Louis News
Description
Missouri Republicans hit a setback after voters rejected two major tax-related amendments, but House Speaker hopeful Alex Riley insists the party’s focus on tax cuts remains intact—just with a new strategy. Amendment 5’s complexity and Amendment 4’s perceived overreach turned off voters, prompting Riley to pivot toward property and personal property tax relief instead of income tax elimination. Governor Mike Kehoe stays committed to economic growth through tax cuts, while Democrats like Minority Leader Ashley Aune seize the moment, blaming GOP leadership for pushing unpopular ballot measures—and using the defeat as campaign fuel to win back voters in November. The battle isn’t over; it’s just shifting gears.
