A “YES” vote is endorsed on Amendment 1
A “YES” vote on Amendment 1 will continue support for Missouri conservation efforts and state parks.
Amendment 1
Shall Missouri continue for 10 years the one-tenth of one percent sales/use tax that is used for soil and water conservation and for state parks and historic sites, and resubmit this tax to the voters for approval in 10 years?
The measure allows continued collection of the existing sales and use tax, which generates revenue of approximately $140 million annually.
A “YES” vote is endorsed on Amendment 4.
A “YES” vote on Amendment 4 will make it harder for wealthy, out-of-state special interests to spend millions of dollars changing Missouri’s Constitution.
Groups such as Moms Demand Action, Everytown for Gun Safety, Michael Bloomberg, and other national gun-control organizations have the financial resources to flood Missouri elections with advertising aimed at urban media markets like St. Louis City and County, Columbia, and Kansas City.
Without stronger protections, these organizations can pour millions into ballot campaigns designed to add policies such as red-flag laws, magazine bans, assault-weapon bans, and other gun-control measures directly into the Missouri Constitution.
Amendment 4
Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to:
- Modify current requirements that a statewide majority of voters may approve initiative petitions to amend the constitution;
- Require a majority of voters in each congressional district to approve initiative petitions to amend the constitution; and
- Make available to each voter the full text of initiative petitions with their ballot?
