Missourians will decide if they want to expand sales taxes to get rid of the income tax

Missouri lawmakers placed Gov. Mike Kehoe’s ambitious tax plan on the ballot last month. It gives lawmakers five years to expand sales and use taxes as a way to phase out the state’s income tax. The proposal has sparked bipartisan opposition – and raised the ire of some powerful groups who may spend money to defeat it. Economist Aaron Hedlund, a supporter of the plan, joins “The Politically Speaking Hour on St. Louis on the Air” to explain why it could help the state in the long term.
