Missouri voters block bold constitutional changes and tax overhaul
TL;DR Summary
Missouri voters rejected Amendment 4 (requiring district-wide majorities for citizen-led constitutional changes) and Amendment 5 (phasing out the state income tax) by wide margins (roughly 80% and 82% opposed). Amendments 1 and 2 passed, preserving park funding via a sales tax and electing the Jackson County assessor. Gov. Kehoe endorsed the tax-cut plan, but voters backed preserving current tax and governance structures.
