JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – On Monday, Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway released the following statement after the Circuit Court of Cole County rejected a legal challenge seeking to prevent HJR 173/174 from appearing on the ballot:
“Today’s ruling was a win for Missouri voters,” said Attorney General Hanaway. “Liberal activists brought this lawsuit to block Missourians from voting on whether to eliminate the state income tax. Judge Limbaugh rightly rejected that challenge. We are proud to continue fighting for the right of voters to decide the future of tax policy in our state. Missourians will have their say this August.”
