Missouri Realtors pour $1.9 million into campaign to defeat Amendment 5 tax plan

The Missouri Association of Realtors donated $1.9 million to oppose Amendment 5, a proposed tax plan that would allow lawmakers to eliminate Missouri’s income tax through expanded sales taxes. Opponents argue the amendment could undermine constitutional protections against real estate transfer taxes and new sales taxes on services, while supporters claim it aims to create a stronger economy by replacing income tax.
