Background:
Governor Mike Kehoe has announced that several proposed constitutional amendments will appear on the August 4 primary ballot. One of the key measures is Amendment 5, which could have a significant impact on Missouri's tax structure.
 

What it does:
This amendment would grant lawmakers the authority to expand sales taxes as part of a long-term plan to eliminate Missouri's state income tax.
 

Why this matters: The income tax is the largest source of funding for the state's general revenue budget, accounting for approximately 65% of the general budget, which totals more than $8.5 billion.
