@kcur893: Missouri’s election on Tuesday, Aug. 4 could drastically alter how the state functions, as voters are set to decide several controversial constitutional amendments. Amendment 4 could limit direct democracy in Missouri by making it much harder for citizen-led initiative petitions to pass at the ballot. Amendment 5 could overhaul the state’s tax structure by requiring the end of the individual income tax, and allowing lawmakers to expand sales taxes. KCUR’s Zach Perez breaks down each amendment and what they could mean for Missouri. 🎤Hosted, filmed and produced by Zach Perez 🖥️Edited by Gabe Rosenberg 📝Featuring reporting from KCUR staff, St. Louis Public Radio, and The Missouri Independent #kansascity #missouri #election
sales tax on goods and services only benefits the wealthy, also, the other amendment just lets the Leading body decide for the state vs the will of the people

It is argued that statewide elections can currently be decided by large population centers like Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield, and Columbia.
Requiring approval in all eight congressional districts ensures rural and suburban Missourians can’t be outvoted by urban areas alone.
Currently, measures can be passed but not necessarily supported uniformly across all regions of Missouri.
Supporters see Amendment 4 as a way to ensure future constitutional changes have broad support across the state.
Opponents see it as changing the rules after several high-profile citizen initiatives succeeded, making it harder for voters to bypass the legislature.
It’s also worth noting that Amendment 4 contains other provisions, including prohibiting foreign nationals from contributing to ballot measure campaigns and increasing penalties for certain petition fraud offenses, but the most significant change is the new approval requirement for citizen-led constitutional amendments.

I mean... I can look across to southern IL and see what Chicago has done to it. I don't trust STL, KS City, and Jeff City to protect rural MO.

Thanks for the breakdown. There’s a lot of misrepresentation of these amendments! The ads feel especially manipulative to older voters.
