Voter Guide

Simple majority required.Ballot wording: Shall City of Jennings, Missouri be authorized to impose a local use tax at the same rate as the total local sales tax rate, provided that if the local sales tax rate is reduced or raised by voter approval, the local use tax rate shall also be reduced or raised by the same action?Summary: The measure would establish a city tax on out-of-state purchases equal to the city government's sales tax rate. The increase would generate about $300,000 annually to help pay for services such as road maintenance, sidewalks, police and parks. Supporters say imposing the tax would put local businesses on a more even playing field with out-of-state firms.
