QUESTION OF THE DAY: Do you support phasing out Missouri’s income tax?
Matthew Sanders
Conservative political group Americans for Prosperity told ABC 17 News this week that Gov. Mike Kehoe is working with them on a plan that would phase out Missouri’s income tax.
Kehoe has been a vocal supporter of the idea for some time, telling ABC 17 shortly after his election that he supports getting rid of state income tax. It’s an idea that has already been tried in other states, so real-world models exist.
Income tax makes up a big chunk of state revenue that will have to come from other sources. One could be a tax on services that aren’t currently subject to sales tax.
Do you think phasing out state income tax is a good idea? Let us know by voting in the poll.
