Missouri: Group hopes to make it tougher to overturn approved initiatives
A diverse group is pushing for a change in the Missouri Constitution that would make it extremely difficult for lawmakers to overturn voter initiatives. It also could doom Kansas City and St. Louis to holding votes on their earnings taxes every five years in perpetuity. The Voter Protection Alliance said Tuesday that it submitted a proposed constitutional amendment to the Missouri Secretary of State’s office that would require either a three-fourths vote in both the House and Senate or a vote of the people to repeal or amend a citizen initiative.
