Push for public vote on new Missouri gas tax increase tabled
A campaign to put Missouri’s new gas tax increase to a public vote has been tabled.
A conservative advocacy group pushed to put the tax hike to a public vote before Republican Gov. Mike Parson even signed it into law, with the hope that voters opposed to higher taxes would overturn it.
But Americans for Prosperity-Missouri Executive Director Jeremy Cady told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the effort just didn’t come together, the newspaper reported Monday.
“We were unable to get all the pieces to come together,” Cady said. “We’ll be looking at tax reforms the Legislature can take up that would remove the extra burdens lawmakers added by increasing the gas tax by 75%.”
