Missouri Voters Reject Tax Plan | Jefferson City News

Missouri voters delivered a crushing blow to Governor Mike Kehoe’s tax-cut ambitions, rejecting two major amendments with overwhelming margins—over 80% against Amendment 4 and more than 83% against Amendment 5. With nearly 1.4 million ballots cast, this was the highest turnout ever for constitutional amendments in Missouri, showing voters prioritized these issues. The defeat marks the end of Kehoe’s plan to eliminate the state income tax, despite strong support from his own party’s leadership. Democrats are celebrating the win as a rebuke to Republican efforts to favor the wealthy, warning lawmakers who backed the measures they’ll face political consequences. The battle over taxes and government’s role in Missourians’ lives is far from over. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
