American City Business JournalsDrebes: Realtors, and mixed messages, helped kill Amendment 5Missouri voters rejected Amendment 5, a ballot initiative that would have phased out the state's income tax. The outcome followed mobilization by Missouri Realtors after the governor declined to explicitly protect their constitutional sales tax exemption. This decision preserves the current income tax structure in the state.American City Business JournalsMissouri voters reject income tax phaseout, initiative petition changesMissouri voters resoundingly rejected two Republican-backed ballot amendments on Tuesday, with Amendment 4 on initiative petition majority counting losing by 63 percentage points and Amendment 5 on eliminating the state income tax losing by 67 percentage points. The Missouri Association of Realtors spearheaded the opposition coalitions, contributing $2.8 million to defeat Amendment 5 and $4.4 million to defeat Amendment 4, significantly out-organizing proponents who still outspent them financially. Governor Mike Kehoe, who supported both measures, acknowledged the defeat but stated he would continue seeking ways to reduce the tax burden on Missouri families.FOX 2Amendment 5: Should Missouri ditch its state income tax? | FOX 2Missouri voters will decide on Amendment 5 in the August ballot, a measure that would eliminate the state income tax and replace it with sales and consumption taxes. Supporters argue the shift would reduce taxes on productivity and creativity, while opponents including the Missouri Association of Realtors Campaign Committee and Missourians for Fair Governance warn it would result in a combined state and local sales tax rate of approximately 16%. The opposition is actively campaigning for a 'no' vote, arguing the measure gives the legislature too much power to override constitutional protections.SbjMissouri Realtors pour $1.9 million into campaign to defeat Amendment 5 tax planThe Missouri Association of Realtors donated $1.9 million to oppose Amendment 5, a constitutional measure that would let lawmakers replace the state income tax with sales taxes. The donation nearly matched a $1.9 million contribution to the amendment's backers, escalating the political fight. If approved, the top income tax rate could rise to 11.5% if no new sales taxes are added.
