An effort to eliminate Missouri’s personal property tax failed to advance after hours of debate in the Senate on Monday.
The measure would cost local governments around $1.4 billion in revenue.
Senator Bill Eigel said the reduction would be softened by phasing out the tax over time. A compromise failed to win enough support after eight Republicans voted “no”.
A source close to the show provided the following list of GOP Senators who opposed the effort:
Lincoln Hough (R - Dist. 30)
Jeanie Riddle (R - Dist. 10)
Mike Cierpiot (R – Dist. 8)
Justin Brown (R – Dist. 16)
Jason Bean (R – Dist. 25)
Karla Eglinger (R – Dist. 33)
Elaine Gannon (R – Dist. 3)
Sandy Crawford (R – Dist. 28)
