Every state legislature should be trying to eliminate SALES TAXES and replace it with other revenue streams.
Sales tax is the most regressive.
The impact is felt even more, due to inflation and tariffs.

Lots of Democrat defectors on this, which is bizarre, since MO is the ONLY state that grabs control of police departments from major cities.
It’s power consolidation at the state level, by Republicans who love politicizing crime and dislike liberal cities. #moleg
