Missouri: Additional petitions could keep Kansas City tax off ballot
A plan to seek a statewide referendum on repealing the earnings tax in Kansas City and St. Louis might actually skip Kansas City, organizer Marc Ellinger said Tuesday. Just before Christmas, Secretary of State Robin Carnahan approved the circulation of five initiative petitions which would put the earnings tax in both cities on the statewide ballot in November, assuming sufficient signatures. (For those keeping score, the petitions are numbers 1,3,5,7 and 9).
