Missouri group launches ad against tax change plan
Tuesday, 02 April 2013 13:25 Published in Local NewsJEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - An organization that analyzes Missouri financial issues has begun running a radio ad against legislation that would cut state income taxes while raising the sales tax.
The Missouri Budget Project said Tuesday that this marks the first time in its 10-year history that the St. Louis-based nonprofit has paid for ads against a policy proposal.
The ad targets legislation scheduled for a House committee hearing Tuesday that would cut income taxes by three-quarters of a percentage point while increasing the sales tax by a half cent. The bill already has passed the Senate.
The Budget Project claims the measure could reduce state revenues by $960 million annually once fully implemented. Other legislative estimates have put the cost at almost half that amount.
There is a new official 10 Most Wanted in St. Louis city.
The St. Louis Police Department released the list today. Four of the most wanted have already been captured. The remaining six are wanted for crimes ranging from Burglary to probation violations.
You can take a look at the mugshots of the most wanted here. (Link courtesy of Fox 2 News)
