Missouri’s Redistricting and Tax Battles | St. Louis News

Description

Missouri’s Fifth District redistricting battle rages on as the state Supreme Court weighs a map that splits Kansas City into three parts, sparking accusations from Rep. Emanuel Cleaver that it was politically engineered to oust him — while GOP challenger Rick Brattin vows to unite rural and urban voters under his campaign. Meanwhile, voters recently rejected two major amendments: one to lock down the constitution, the other to scrap the income tax — but Gov. Mike Kehoe remains undeterred, eyeing property tax reforms instead. With lawmakers exploring new constitutional paths and Secretary of State Denny Hoskins standing firm on legal compliance, Missouri’s political tug-of-war over taxes and maps shows no signs of slowing down.
