JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – State Representative Jim Murphy, Chairman of the Special Interim Committee on the Earnings Tax, is announcing the second and third of three public hearings with the aim of evaluating the policies of municipalities that utilize an earnings tax and evaluating personal property tax policies.
